The artist's more politically motivated series, rendered from donated human blood, are utilized to advocate for fair blood donation policies, anti-stigma, and full equality. At Getty, Eagles presents Illuminations, an installation utilizing blood donated from members of the LGBTQI+ community who are on PrEP, and individuals who are HIV+ and undetectable. The organic material is preserved in resin panels–some layered with vintage comic book images with narratives connected to blood–and placed on analog overhead projectors, illuminating the space and viewers. This presentation complements the symposium titled There Will Be Blood, a collaboration between the Getty Museum and USC's Center for the Premodern World, and the exhibition Blood: Medieval/Modern, on view in the North Pavilion.
