Angels
A series of painted photographs of the eroded stone angels from the façade of Exeter Cathedral.
Covered in layers of green paint that drips and pools over the surface, the angels emerge and dissolve, suspended in a state between absence and presence. For Daniel & Clara, these fragile weatherworn figures became a powerful metaphor for the erosion of traditional structures and shared myths. In a world where such guiding narratives have faded, Angels expresses a deep sense of disorientation – a longing for meaning, guidance and connection.
“We were struck by the visibility of time and weather on the angels and how this great monument to faith, craftsmanship and human creativity will one day disappear. In time everything eventually vanishes – maybe this is why we make art – to grapple with the inevitable vanishing of ourselves and everything we know. A testament to life in the face of death, that is what art is for.”
