| The
female and male life-sized
angels face each other
in postures redolent
of strong emotion.
Only the perceiver
can decide whether
this is malevolence,
resignation, or something
else entirely. This
could be a domestic
argument, could even
be a moment of softer
intimacy. There is
no context, other
than the enigmatic
lighting to suggest
where this bizarre
confrontation is taking
place. Give them a
glitter ball and they
could be dancng. |
| The
director of the Merlin
Theatre in Frome,
Paula Hammond saw
the dramatic potential
of this piece and
the angelic confrontation
'Angel Voices' was
exhibited on stage
in April 2002, with
an imaginative lighting
sequence designed
by Rick Worringham.
|
| Audience
responses were collected
and formed part of
the ambient soundtrack
(together with words
by Crysse Morrisson)
for 'Angel Voices'
when it was exhibited
for the second time
at the opening of
the Frome Festival
on 5th July 2002. |
"Amazing,
constantly thought
provoking and disturbing.
A beautiful and
deeply moving work"

| "This project has, for me, confirmed that emotional integrity and creativity endure together, perhaps inextricably, at the ragged edge between experience and imagination. " - Crysse Morrison |

| Your figures seem to stand on the debatable ground where ancient mythologies and modern themes of evolution meet to remind of us that we are always unfinished creatures, primitive and marvellous, cobbled together out of flesh and dreams, and nailed down by gravity to the things of earth, yet with the star-stuff in us yearning once again for flight. Imagination is the necessary angel!' |
