Title A name given to the resource <em>Fairy Collage Quilt</em> Description An account of the resource From the series "Paper Quilt and Collage"<br /><p>In his “Paper Quilt and Collage” series, John Paradiso explores “growing old as a gay man.” He combines techniques of quilting, inspired in part by the AIDS Memorial Quilt, with seductive images of the male body to reflect on his generation’s experiences of surviving the HIV/AIDS crisis at its most devastating period for gay men in America. Paradiso appliquéd floral fabric to nine small wooden panels, in some cases layering them over glossy magazine images of a muscular male nude. With “fairy” in the artwork’s title and the “pansy” motif of the fabric, Paradiso invokes terms long used to disparage gay men as effeminate and weak. Here the hardy pansies and powerful male physique combine to suggest a different symbolism—one of resilience and strength.</p> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Image courtesy of the artist Relation A related resource 2014-2015 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource JPEG Type The nature or genre of the resource Still Image Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 2015.1.9 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Paradiso
