Benevolent Celestial
Artist’s hands
Formed life
Indistinct shadows
Mutated divinity
Thrown collection
Portals of clay
Deceived by light
Face to face
Feeding off chaos
Fending this room
Empty eyes
Staring
Soulless
Hypnotized slave…
Mirrors of
Once was
Deaths scapegoat
Anchored alter
Affinity of fire
Demons
Or angels
Morally ambiguous
Move unclad
Organic battle ground
Company we keep
Hell abide
My pain
their treasure…

Demons are believed to have been fallen angels, and they can change their form to suit their needs. In the case of death, they are always regarded as the spirits of those who have died; it is believed that their are good and bad demons. When I created these plaques in my 'throwing' class it was not clear what was manifesting, as I made them after Anelisa passed away. The light clearly cast a shadow of a one sided wing in my eyes...
I am using this as my FSO- Angels picked by Kim, post since I am still feeling under the weather with a flu/cold this past week. This is my living room wall in Princeton, and part of 'My Town'...
Funny how I was inspired to post this Monday, and had not even noticed it was our theme...

Isn't it wonderful to work with clay? The feel of it just gets into our hearts and there's more of us in the work than we know.
I hope you feel better...when do I get to me the Muse
