Angels in the Archive 

"The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead and make whole what has been smashed" Walter Benjamin 


Work utilising legacy of terrestrial Angels as a way of looking back at my family history.  Inspired by the writings of Walter Benjamin in the Angel of History, Rainer Maria Rilker’s Duino Elergies and WimoWenders Wings of Desire. I position my Angels within my artworks and within my family archive to think about the passing of time and the impact of trauma on memory.
