“7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels
\nfought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and
\nhis angels,
\n8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any
\nmore in heaven.
\n9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
\ncalled the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole
\nworld: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
\nwere cast out with him.”<\/div>\n

Having obtained a degree in the history of art, I have an endless source of subjects for reinterpretation into new sculptures. \u00a0To choose something like The Fall of the Rebel Angels, \u00a0painted by Pieter Brueghel the Elder amongst many others, I feel that I am part of a continuation of a grand artistic tradition.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My first version of The Fall of the Rebel Angels was a series of pencil and ink wash drawings of falling angels, each in small frame – the kind used for family photographs. \u00a0The idea was that the angels are like ancestral portraits, scattered down the wall of my studio.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The second more recent version has sculptures of small angels falling to create a column of convex and concave curves.<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit”

to visually describe the arrival of evil on earth. Mentioned in the book of Enoch dated 302 BC (originally part of the Torah), Lucifer and his band of rebel angels are expelled from heaven by the archangel Michael. In Durer’s series of ‘Apocalypse’ woodcuts published in 1498, Michael is seen throwing out Lucifer in the form of a dragon. Pieter Brueghel the elder painted his ‘Fall of the Rebel Angels’ in 1562, an extraordinary menagerie of immagined hell creatures assembled from different bits and pieces of animals and insects. It was a time of christianity trying to assert its dominance on all aspects of life. The falling angels represent the corruption of humanity when they fell to earth, the supernatural cause of evil.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#000000″ full_height=”yes” columns_placement=”stretch” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-10-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”200″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1723972092689{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}” text_direction=”default”]The second, more recent version has sculptures of small angels falling from heaven. \u00a0Heaven is symbolised by a large trumpet, historically associated with musical angels in early christian and renaissance paintings . \u00a0The falling rebel angels create a column of interlaced convex and concave curves and are a representation of Evil descending to Earth for the first time to mingle with humanity. \u00a0The angels are earth red to represent their demonic status.
\nSarah Jones has taken some wonderful photographs that show the movement of the descent – a swarming insect quality that I think greatly adds to the effect that I want to achieve – the chaos that accompanies the abandonment of truth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-left” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”300″ column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”2528″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”color-overlay” hover_overlay_color=”#1c1c1c” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#000000″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”6%” bottom_padding=”6%” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”flickity_static_height_style” images=”1914,1915,1921,1916,1922,1917,1918,1919,1912,1920,2507,2509,2511,2513,2515,2517,2519,2521,2523,2525,2527,2529″ flickity_spacing=”default” flickity_controls=”material_pagination” flickity_overflow=”hidden” flickity_wrap_around=”wrap” flickity_box_shadow=”x_large_depth” image_loading=”default” onclick=”link_no” img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
