"Michaelmas" Window
|
|
|
|
This is one of a series of panels designed and made for a School's seasonal Festivals. It is usual for Michael to be depicted killing a dragon. I have suggested the compassion of the Archangel redeeming a "human dragon", a figure derived from William Blake's "The Ghost of a Flea". The model is given of the highest and lowest of human conditions. 1998 37" x 20" (940mm x 510mm) |
