Angel

Russell Jakubowski

I was asked to design a decoration for the Christmas tree at Watts Gallery (2018/19). This piece sat on top of the tree, my representation of an Angel - so busy that it was only visible as a trace of energy. Made from 65 individual acrylic components and held in place by stainless steel rods. A way of looking at this is as an axis of time extending from top to bottom through the assembled layers with effort described on a lateral plane extending away from it. Like a three dimensional graph. Viewed as a whole this can be seen as a snapshot of efforts through time, with everything else stripped away so that only a skeleton of activity remains.
