They both died of AIDS-related complications in 1989, less than 7 weeks apart from each other. As I was digging through pictures of Cookie scattered around the net, the pictures began to congeal into this deeply tragic and horrific photographic narrative. Below are some of Nan’s photographs of Cookie, assembled chronologically, that depict part of the devastating portrait.” Trigger warning for mentions of rape and drug use at the source.
