Fairy Garden Wonderland

Fairies will fly, fireflies will mate and disco ball unicorns will perform an offering, a musical saw aria culminating in a majestic rainbow! Watch an indoor solarium transform, in real-time, into an animated magical symphony of colour, sound and critters of the queerest kind.

This subversive garden is a safe haven from the capitalistic, narcissistic world in which we live. An imaginary space living that transcends colonialism, heteropatriarchy, and cisnormativity.

"Fairy Garden Wonderland"

Fairies will fly, fireflies will mate
disco balled unicorns make the unicorn dates


Silver-horned cone-like antlers abound
Idyllic quadrilles – dance round and round


Lavender cowslips, eglantine–vulvic design
Nature rhymes everything with slips of queer signs


In and out up and down
Seeding the ground


Finding and losing

the soft mighty sound of


Foursomes, threesomes and twosomes and more
Adam’s Steve Lilith’s Eve cavort upon leafy floors


Peaseblosooms, clover, musk roses, and vines
Entangled with honeysuckles more than divine


Lay grace on this garden freed from bad air
I durst not part my lips for that deafening share


Of a queer world encountering strife from beyond
Dance in queer gardens and rainbows will come
