Charles Levi

With particular reference to the AIDS Memorial Quilt, Charles Levi's work relies on the haptic properties and tactile nature of textiles to embody queer experiential narratives and fleeting feelings through a diverse set of coded symbols. The work evokes the question; can a feeling be recorded through collected fabric, connective stitching and allegory despite its intangibility?
