[ Georg Jensen® c/o Heemskerk \

A word from the artist…

“I have crafted a tribute to the icons of drag, the queens who teach resilience, glamour, and the art of transformation. My collaboration with the esteemed Georg Jensen by Heemskerk has given rise to a collection that mirrors the spirit of these dazzling performers: a trio of wine bottles, each adorned with 13 audacious strokes. These are not mere decorations; they are symbols of the bold, the beautiful, and the defiant.

Each stroke, viscous and rich, pays homage to the power of speech and performance, their ability to articulate love, protest, and pride with a fierceness that commands attention. Against a canvas of "Sunlit Serenade," a hue as hopeful as the dawn of acceptance; "Whispering Azure," a breath of freedom under a sky without limits; and "Velvet Blush," the tender strength of a community united at dusk, these lips speak volumes.

This collection stands as a beacon of what Sydney Mardi Gras represents: the celebration of identity, the richness of diversity, and the unyielding courage of the LGBTQ+ community. Each bottle, with its vibrant kisses cast in glass, is a testament to the queens’ legacy of inspiring us to live our truth with pride and to face the world with unshakeable confidence and grace.

As you hold these bottles, let the bold strokes remind you of the queens’ enduring legacy - their ability to challenge norms, to dazzle and to transform not just themselves but the world around them. This Mardi Gras, through art, we toast to their indomitable spirit, to the power of voice, and to the endless parade of love and liberation that marches through Sydney’s streets. Here, in every color, every curve, every sip, lies a story of triumph, a call to embrace our own stages, and to perform our truths with the same unapologetic brilliance. Welcome to a celebration where every bottle is a curtain call, every hue a spotlight, and every one of us, in our own way, a star."
