TITLE
Proposals for Queer Bodies in Public Space (Flag)
ARTIST
John Rainey
ABOUT THE WORK
‘Proposal for Queer Bodies in Public Space’ is a flag printed with drawings of reimagined monuments. Many of the monuments we share the city with stand to contested, yet established histories. In re-imagining the format and materials of these types of sculptures, the drawings represent monuments to the untold, the shrouded, the joyful, and the defiant histories of queer experience that are often lost to a culture of enforced secrecy.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
John Rainey works primarily in sculpture, combining traditional casting processes in materials like porcelain with digital fabrication technologies such as 3D printing. His sculptures emerge from periods working back and forth between these digital and physical worlds, often featuring material illusions and a disruption of familiar forms.
DELIVERY AND POSTAGE
Shipping cost will be quoted and confirmed via email. When your order has been placed we will be in touch with you to discuss the best options for shipping your purchase.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Creases in the fabric can be removed by the following methods.:
Steaming: Use a handheld steamer to gently steam the creases out. Hold the steamer a few inches away from the fabric to avoid any damage. Hanging the flag in a bathroom for a period of time can also have the same effect.
Ironing: If you don't have a steamer, you can use an iron on a low heat setting. Place a thin cloth or towel over the flag to protect it, and gently iron out the creases.
