Angels

Michelle has always been fascinated by early Christian representations of angels. The word angel coming originally from the Greek word 'aggelos', meaning messenger and herein lies the challenge that Michelle sets herself with each work to convey a particular message or emotion through an embroidered representation.

 

Michelle draws inspiration from ancient Byzantine icons as well as the traditional wood carvings to be found decorating the 'angel roofs' of many Norfolk churches.
