What are contemporary elements of armour, how is power displayed and protection expressed? What is a contemporary expression of valour and do we have any idea what form angels could take?
 | These definitions of armour, revisioned with a contemporary perspective and constructed through a historical lens, become art that emboldens with a power not of this world. |   Inspired in part by Schubert's "Himmelsfunken" with poetry by Johann Peter Silbert from 1819: |   The breath of God blows gently, | and silently, longing awakens; | the intoxicated heart faints | in wonderfully sweet agony... | From the "Himmelsfunken: Keine irdische Macht" (Messages from Heaven - No Earthly Power) series.
