Throne

Collins created this heavily immersive work as the 8th work of her “Furious Angels” series. Angels come into our life in many forms and ways, but for Collins, the historical depiction misses the power and fury needed to make changes in our world. The wings provide flight, but Collins choses to create these wings out of found objects – they are imperfect because they represent the battle hardened warrior who has obtained victory, not through an easy quest, but through dedication and hard won battles. It is this difficult trail to the finish line that makes this painting, and our own lives, worthy of a Throne.
