Transparency and Justice

Made to a brief rather than to her own idea: the Embroiderers' Guild set its members the question of what one might give a king. Ksenia answered with a message instead of a gift, the words worked in vyaz hand lettering in blue and silver across a pale ground, bordered like a charter. It is the piece to look at when a commission comes with a theme attached, because it shows how she reads someone else's brief and returns something with a position in it.

Metal threads, sequins, glass beads and pearls on woven ground · Framed panel; scale to the commission
