Knife Angel

The Knife Angel is a huge forged steel sculpture made primarily of knives confiscated from, or handed in by, people who were carrying them as street weapons. It is touring various city venues and has recently arrived in Coventry, where it has been sited close to the cathedral and the Jacob Epstein sculpture of St Michael vanquishing the Devil. It will remain there until Easter and then move to another city.

The photos below are in the order in which they were taken - with such a reflective set of surfaces you can see the passage of the low afternoon sun moving around.
