The Knife Angel

The Knife Angel
The Angel in Taunton April 2024

National Youth Anti-Violence Tour – The Knife Angel
The sculpture, made from over 100,000 seized blades, was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful memorial designed to celebrate those lives who have been lost through these violent and thoughtless actions.

Great images and a striking artwork which is, sadly, so relevant to our communities.

A very compelling and evocative piece of artwork............and it's been beautifully put together. Sadly though, it tells of a terrible social problem..!!

Only last night on the news we heard of a 14 year old boy being stabbed to death by a grown man with a sword of all things...........two policemen were very badly injured and some others were also injured, before he was captured.

Having acknowledged all that.........I have to say these are brilliant captures......full of wonderful (if terrifying) detail. The PiPs are especially impressive!

Excellent work Maggie **********

A fascinating link too...........thanks for sharing!

To think that I begged my parents for a jackknife when I was a child!
I wanted to carve pieces of wood like I had seen child actors doing on television . . . I guess that I was not so angelic (I never used it as a weapon, though).
