This set from the Book of Common Prayer is a partial record of the set that was displayed at the Fabric district with Not Just Collective. It was probably our largest show with over 40 artists from various countries and I was really proud to be involved. The first panel is my handsome (and patient) man as Saint Sebastian, (martyr, warrior and protector Saint). The rainbow halo is self explanatory. The second is the shield I built for the Saint, based in a flattened version of the Roman infantry scutum and built from a closet door. The arrows of his martyrdom had pierced right through and the title was “That Which Can Not Protect You”. Scribed very subtly into the surface was an imagined text of his trial and execution. Next is that object and the first image as part of the large scale “Triptych for the 49- And It Doesn’t Even Make The Daily Mail Front Page” (partially titled after the @gracepetriemusic song Pride, which discusses the same event; it was of course a tribute piece for the victims of the Pulse Nightclub massacre, the worst hate crime against LGBT in American History. It depicted each of the victims as photo collage saints set in windows to heaven. (two of whom are shown in greater detail on image 5). The page had previously been used to write down notes from an abusive phone call from management at the college as evidence for the grievance that marked the end of our careers. After this is an unsuccessful experiment of printing Belisama onto a copper surface and last is the metal emboss of Buddha Amogosiddhi I had previously made with the Liverpool Triratna Sangha. He is the unstoppable Buddha of direct action and fearlessness who represents the north and midnight. #sketchbook #exhibition #notjustcollective #saintsebastian #pulsenightclub #hatecrime #tribute #shield #martyr #queerartist #homophobia #belisama #amogasiddhi #warriorsaint #liverpoolartist #archive #happierdays (at Fabric) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZZIf0Aq2q/?igshid=keemqyhwtyyh

"Even if the stake were raised and the fire lit, I will not lose my faith in God."- Quote from the TV mini-series Joan of Arc with Leelee Sobieski as the title role in 1999. She died at 19; but her story lives on. We honor what she did for France to lead them to freedom during the Hundred Years War Feast Day: May 30. #joanofarc #saintjoanofarc #warriorsaint #martyr #vivelafrance🇫🇷
