Rage rage against the dying of the light
Matchstick in sterling silver
This version of the matchstick takes its name from one of Mark’s favorite revolutionary groups, ACT UP; founded in 1987 during the AIDS epidemic, ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) were known for their aggressive and penetrating displays of protest
Commissioned by I Heart and Proctor and Gamble as the artist gift for their Can't Cancel Pride concert event, the matchstick is meant to represent how change begins with a single strike, with the torch of revolution passed between generations; from Elton John to Brandi Carlile, from Melissa Etheridge to Adam Lambert, from Ricky Martin to Kim Petras, there is a light that never goes out
Can't Cancel Pride was born of the pandemic as a way to ensure the celebration and urgency of pride continued during uncertain and isolated times - the pandemic canceled many things, but not the gays; it was such a success, it is now in its 4th year and has raised over $17 million dollars for LGBTQ+ charities
