Erika Diamond Asheville, North Carolina 40% (quilt) 2022 Reflective vinyl fabric, batting, lined with “Super Snuggle Pride Pronouns Flannel Fabric” from JOANN(tm)

“The quilt lining signals the single most lifesaving factor in a gender-diverse child’s well-being: a parent using a child’s preferred pronouns. -Erika Diamond

Artist Erika Diamond uses the quilt form to highlight the specific challenges faced by queer youth today. Her quilt, made out of mirrored vinyl, alters the Virginia quilt square block to resemble the outline of a basic house. The artwork’s title, 40%(quilt), references the disproportionate amount of queer youth who are unhoused in Virginia.

Through this literally reflective quilt, Diamond asks us to reconsider the challenges and barriers queer youth face today, giving visibility to a group that is often overlooked.
