angel day turning
by greg thompson & donal mcgraith
Angel Day Turning is a provocative work of art on the iconography and meaning
of angels. A collaboration between philosopher Donal McGraith and artist Greg
Thompson, Angel Day Turning uses text and imagery to explore many of the ideas
that underlie these fictional characters and how they are manifested in philosophy,
technology, the arts, religion, and popular culture.
“An angel is our idea of a more authentic (incorporeal) image of us, a pure soul never embodied, a contradiction, the mirror phase, our truer self than image. Angels are beauty that is skin deep, the glamour of the body without the actual desiring flesh — pure desire unfulfillable.” – Donal McGraith (Angel Day Turning)
