Donna Evans
Angel and Skeleton (the rescuing Angel appears to be female)

1987

About the Item

Donna Evans' "Angel and Skeleton" shows an angel reaching out to a skeleton as if to rescue it from a wooded landscape. Donna Evans is one of a group of New York City lesbians who formed 'fierce pussy' in 1991 to address issues of lesbian identity and visibility. All of its members were involved in AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP) to fight the AIDS pandemic. Low-tech and low budget, the collective responded to the urgency of those years, using readily available resources: old typewriters, found photographs, their own baby pictures, and the printing supplies and equipment accessible in their day jobs. Originally 'fierce pussy' was composed of a fluid and often shifting cadre of dykes including Pam Brandt, Jean Carlomusto, Donna Evans, Alison Froling, and Suzanne Wright. “Historically, public space has held a contradiction for queer people: on the one hand we have been invisible and on the other hand we are frequently the target of violence in public. Part of the impulse in making this work has been to let other queer people know that we are here, that queer people are everywhere—simply put, we make ourselves visible.”
