I re-watched the movie Amedeus last night (1985 must-see). Mozart's requiem, in particular the Lacrimosa movement, inspired this piece. Lacrimosa is Latin for tearful/sorrow which captures the mood of this grieving angelic figure.

The sculpture was made at the time of my father's passing almost 4 years ago. I've always found time in the studio, immersed in creativity to be a cathartic and comforting place. Often I begin with no intention or plan, allowing inspiration to work through me, and I'm always surprised with the outcome.
