I wanted to create an essence of heavenly ethereal imagery, whilst also keeping it grounded and eathly. Whilst I partially wanted to preserve the mysterious elements to the painting, I do want to mention some ideas which inspired this piece. The reference was a dance performance I took part depicting a stairway to heaven made up of dancers each one supporting and relying on the next, and it caused me to consider the idea of angels outside the spiritual context. In iconography angels appear humanlike. I thought about the concept of an ‘earth angel’, someone who helps and guides us in our everyday lives. I thought about what, if anything, would make an angel any different from a friend who is there for us and to consider both the fear and comfort that comes with the thought that maybe other people might be all we have.
