Sculpture Polished Stainless Steel (2022)
she’s walking through the clouds
with a circus mind
that’s running wild
A sacred edge to Jimi Hendrix’s muse. Inspiration descends from a place that can only be reached with wings, with a feminine self-awareness. Rock & Roll & Religion. As much groupie as angel.
Explanation
Monotheistic religions and in their wake totalitarian regimes have often oppressed women, covered their heads as well as their legs. The patriarchy made them almost invisible. We only know angels in an ankle-length baggy robe.
In the 1950s pious women still wore long skirts and only a few great-grandchildren still do so today. The miniskirt that emerged in the 1960s opposed this and was seen as a woman’s liberation and an expression of her self-awareness.
Until now, this emancipation was not reserved for angels. Until Little Wing, an angel in a miniskirt.
Specification
This modern, Art Deco-inspired sculpture is crafted from stainless steel sheet. Laser-cut, rolled, welded, and meticulously polished until the steel achieved its distinctive depth and lustre.
Light and reflection continually transform the sculpture, giving it a different character from every angle and in every setting. Durable stainless steel withstands the elements and the passage of time with ease, retaining its beauty both outdoors and indoors.
In the garden, it stands as a striking focal point; indoors, it becomes an elegant jewel within the space. A sculpture that continues to surprise and invites the viewer to look again and again.
