Angels
1-4 of 4
In 1984 I was living in a warehouse studio on a deadens street in Sarasota. I felt insecure being the only person who went to sleep at night in that industrial area. I did some research on Haitian Voodoo and imagined envisioning angels protecting me in the studio space and where ever I went. Eschewing corporeal figures, I opted for feathery lines made with irredescent paint sticks and placed them in architectural settings, borrowed from Early Renaissance architecture. Raised in the catholic church it was an easy steal. I took pleasure in blending Haitian spirits with Catholic architecture.
