“…and all the angels pray for peace” is a series that began in January 2003.
Each angel is an original, one of a kind, art doll.
The head and hands are, in general, sculpted from polymer clay. They range in height from 18 to 24 inches.
Included in the design of each angel are * the word peace written in many languages * the name of the series * my trademark Suji™ * a phrase telling which number she is in the series and when she was made
I have been a seamstress for many years, but am relatively new to polymer sculpting. Before I began this project I knew nothing about other languages, photography, designing brochures….. Creating this series continues to be an incredible journey.
Researching these languages I found a wide variety of definitions for peace. Freedom from violence, justice, not war, calm, quiet, and lack of anxiety are a few examples.
Several languages have many different words for peace. One language uses the same word for food and peace. Tranquility of mind was listed often and is my personal favorite.
I hope the one you choose brings you personal peace, whatever your definition.
