ABOUT THIS PROJECT

From 2008-2010, I constructed three-dimensional “angel” prints on fabric, some based on Byzantine, early medieval and baroque angels/devils I have seen on my many trips to Italy, particularly in Florence, Siena, Assisi, Padova and Venice. I also used images of moths as sources for these flying creatures photographed in an Indiana University Biology lab. They represent the good, bad, fanciful, hopeful, hubristic, and spiritual aspects of human nature that resides in all of us.
