A panel for Fiona Johnson

The collection of UK AIDS Quilts were made between 1989 and 1996 to commemorate friends, lovers and family members who passed away from an AIDS related illness during this time. These individual panels were never sewn into quilts and often refer to a single person or message. You can zoom in to some of the specific details listed below.

A large blue panel, with the name Fiona Johnson and a picture of her beneath. Around the panel are various squares, some of sites like the Eiffel Tower, some of poetry and art. One contains a poem and a line drawing of a dove that reads:

'Fiona / Such courage in such frail grace
Not every dove that leaves ' the protecting love of sheltered walls / will leap with joy into an unclouded blue. / Some too hasty, wings untried, will fall, /And others the bright eyed hawk will take.
You, my dear, my fair high dancer / Took strange, dark ways to find the stars, / and tangled in clouds were lost. / And yet, returned. And yet, were found. /Finding yoursel at last / Forever Loved.'
