QUEER MONUMENTSConceived in collaboration with Stephanie Singer
Artist
Fall 2024 - Ongoing
Just as marble is formed under intense pressure deep underground, so too are the communities we depict. These statues mark people, communities, and moments of today. We build them to outlive us — embodiments of the now, relics of the future.
Queer Monuments is a sculptural installation series that consecrates queer leaders in local communities by erecting marble busts in their likenesses. Select individuals are represented as classical statues that will appear at sites of queer joy, sorrow, or resilience.
