An homage to medieval tapestries depicting heaven and hell, The Beast draws from scenes where morality, fear, beauty, and chaos are all tangled together. These works were never subtle. They were crowded, symbolic, and meant to be felt as much as understood.
Historically, tapestries like these functioned as instruction and intimidation. Heaven and hell weren’t abstract ideas. They were landscapes. Populated. Teeming. Full of beasts, bodies, and consequences. Good and evil shared the same frame, often uncomfortably close. The imagery wasn’t about clarity. It was about tension.
Rendered here as a woven crew-neck sweater, The Beast carries that density forward. Layered patterning, rich red tones, and a surface that reveals more the longer you look. It feels ceremonial without being precious. Dramatic without asking for attention. A little ominous, in a satisfying way.
The Details:
55% cotton, 45% polyester
Lightweight, extra-soft knit
Unisex sizing
Machine washable
Disclaimers
May shrink slightly after the first wash
Wash at 30–40°C
Queer-owned. Artist-made. Beautifully unsettling.
