Angel graces Gallery@37 window in Derby

Artist calls work 'autobiographical'


'Angelus Temporaria' / Contributed photo

Artist BillieJo, gallery manager, created this stunning piece. 
She said, "On display now at Gallery@37 is a visually and spiritually arresting 3-dimensional collage entitled, 'Angelus Temporaria.'
"It is, every bit and every inch, an autobiographical assemblage composed of countless found objects that mark important moments, memories, passions, pastimes, and worldly achievements of the artist's life. It is, at one and the same time, singular in its self-portraiture and universal in its visual metaphor of the artist as divine creatrix.
"Encountering this work of art and engaging with it, even briefly, could be life-changing in the very best of ways. Don't miss this temporary Gallery@37 guest. This is guaranteed to be a once in a lifetime appearance and opportunity, now through the winter holidays."

The Valley Arts Council's Gallery@37 is located at 37 Elizabeth St., Derby.
