Angelfire
view large | next previous
In the age of lunar landings by humans, it seems an anachronism to conceive angels as composite zoomorphs: humans with bird wings. Angelfire grew out of an interest in envisioning an propulsion system for our astral friends which would be an alternative to feathers. The descending wing is coupled to a complex of forms with rising energies: the double helix, interpenetrating union, fire. A glimpse of the matrix that binds us one to another.
