Holy Rolodex is a reinterpretation of Catholic theology by artist and designer Reyne Lawson, reimagining a collection of saints and holy figures from a queer perspective. When sexual judgment is eradicated from the religious narrative, it may allow people to recognise the appetites these saints embody. Removing the element of sexual shame that can be associated with Catholicism, this body of work offers a version of these beloved saints that resonates without fear of judgment.
Displayed at a-n studio, this exhibition includes prints, an art installation and various products.
Participants
Born and raised in Perth (Boorloo), Reyne Lawson is a digital artist and designer with a focus on exploring the intricate realms of sexuality and intimacy. Merging both tactile and digital mediums, Lawson intertwines elements of fashion, design, urban culture, religion, and sexual fantasy. Utilising vintage pornography and diverse media, they craft surreal and provocative compositions with a distinctly “retro-futuristic” aesthetic.
