Artist's notes: "The Homeless Angel embodies a familiar literary motif: the idea that angels can appear in unexpected places and may not always be immediately recognized for what they are. In this work an angel with a broken wing pushes a creaky shopping cart laden with symbols and icons of major world religions along the sidewalk. The sculpture juxtaposes mystical elements (wings, religious icons) with gritty reality (cigarette butts, broken glass, shabby clothes)."
