Holy (adjective): dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred. Rolodex (noun): a type of desktop card index.

Holy Rolodex is a reinterpretation of Catholic theology by artist and designer Reyne Lawson, reimagining a collection of saints and holy figures from a queer perspective. When sexual judgment is eradicated from the religious narrative, it may allow people to recognise the appetites these saints embody. Removing the element of sexual shame that can be associated with Catholicism, this body of work offers a version of these beloved saints that resonates without fear of judgment.

Displayed at a-n studio, this exhibition includes prints, an art installation and various products.
