I make abstracted Pride Flags every year to take the symbols of queerness and make them like us: living, flowing, unique, connected. I think the power of this is that we as queer people are often made into cultural and political symbols. But we’re not symbols. We are breathing, changing creatures who are telling the truth about ourselves.
I hope this series feels as luscious and personal and celebratory to you as it does to me. I made these pieces so full of love for the infinite ways that we express and experience queerness: each one part of a tradition but totally its own.
2022 Pride Flags release tomorrow, Tuesday, July 12.
There’s just a few of each kind, and I don’t have any immediate plans to make prints, so Patreon members and you all, my email subscribers, get first dibs.
Access codes will go out at the following PST times:
8am Patrons
9am Newsletter friends (you!)
10am Open to everyone
Here’s the preview!
