Adria Arch: Better Angels

"Better Angels" is a phrase in Abraham Lincoln’s inaugural speech calling us to be our most moral selves. With bold, flat color and convoluted forms, the sculptural installation Better Angels hovers overhead, drawing our attention upwards to a higher plane. The pieces float, suspended above our heads, intertwining like vines or Renaissance winged babies, eliciting mirth and joy.
