a love letter to keith haring + all those affected by hiv / aids, particularly homosexual men ( + some bonus shots of pre-glaze textures )

#art tag #ceramics #sculpture #mixed media #aids crisis #aids quilt #quilt #art quilt #the scale of this fucking thing is so difficult to capture #it was such a bitch the entire time but finally. he is stable #never have i been so upset at my classic style of taking images ( bedroom floor + bed-lamp lighting ) but it is the best i have #all of the quote panels are statements taken from various queer protest signs #most of the doodles in those panels are traditional queer symbols / haring art #keith haring pieces referenced: resist! + stop aids + life of christ #the doodles in the middle panels toward the corners are taken from biblical descriptions of angels #the goas was to stitch this bitch together + make it look like a quilt #which was done by my god at what cost #obviously inspired by the aids quilt as well #queer symbols referenced: rainbow + lambda + green carnation + red ribbon + pink triangle #yeah i think that's all but this one was a fucking doozy #overall happy with how it came together though. even if a lot of it was last-minute alterations + panic
