Description:
Paul Tay was the inspiration for cast iron AIDS memorial sculpture by Romany Mark Bruce that can be seen in New Steine Gardens. The piece honours those who died from AIDS and those who continue to live with HIV. Romany shares – “I met Paul Tay at university. He died of AIDS in 1992. He was my lover, my best friend and my soul mate. When he died my greatest fear was that with time, I would forget him. I never have. James Ledward gave me the opportunity to remember him in a way I never imagined possible, and for that I am truly indebted to him.”
