Wonderkind 1
-

-
Wonderkind 1 takes its cues from Hellenistic sculpture, contemporary fashion advertising and the chimeras and hybrids of world mythology. It’s an angel of course; an expression of the divine, but it is not necessarily benevolent. It is a harbinger of some undisclosed certainty, good or bad. Its back to us, and its face buried in dark curls, it is vastly indifferent to our presence, pre-occupied and self contained. It is both winged for flight and grounded in place on its marble plinth. Beyond it we see a fragment of a view, a vacant plain of indeterminate features, perhaps our world, perhaps another, or somewhere in-between.
