thanks to WendyofNeverland for sharing this picture with the Brooklyn is Watching Flickr group of Brigitte Kungler’s “Words of an Angle” in this piece moving words make up the substance of the Angel in ways that seem to relate to its body parts, for example the trunk of the angel is made up of the word “strength” while the wings are made up of “freedom”. Techincally, i’m not sure how hard this is, content wise, it might be prejudice on my part that makes me think of it as treacle. Certainly it doesn’t have much to surprise us, but I think that the idea in general of objects made up out of words is an interesting idea– and it could be like new version of concrete poetry. I might like it better if the words that were chosen surpised me or made me think about angels in some new way…. if that’s possible. What do y’all think?
