Description from maker

The queer connotations of a curved line :). I considerer how my own queerness, as a cis woman, relates to gender conformity; I thought about the ways in which queerness invites and demands deviance from normativity and from “straight” culture, which I chose to explore through contrasting shapes of curves and straight lines.

Visual description

Light blue quarter rings in the top right and bottom left corners, with a wide light pink stripe running between from top left to bottom right corners. Bright coral fabric acts as a backdrop for the design.
