About Archangel Michael Quilling

大天使迈克尔(Michael Angel)是尼亚姆(Niamh)创作的镶框羽毛笔。她创作此《天使大天使》 Quilling作品的灵感来自她的母亲。当祖母病重时,Niamh的母亲在他们的车里,而当祖母去世时,大天使迈克尔的徽章从镜子上掉到了她的口袋里,这让他们都感到安慰,因为她知道她受到了保护。目的是在观看者观察作品时产生初步的影响,由此使观看者更加靠近以查看所涉及的细节。

Design Challenge
The process challenges that Niamh came across when creating this piece was knowing when to finish it. Each and every strip of paper was individually cut and shaped and she found it was difficult to know when he was filled in enough without it looking bare in certain areas or adding too much to it.
Research
Before starting this quilling Niamh did research into what it is that best represents Archangel Michael. All of the elements and colours have been specifically chosen to create Archangel Michael as authentic as possible.
Inspiration
Niamh's inspiration for creating this Quilling piece of Archangel Michael came from her mother. When her grandmother was ill her mother was in their car and the badge for Archangel Michael fell from the mirror into her pocket as she passed away and this gave them all comfort knowing that she was being protected. Niamh created this piece for her mother.
Project Duration
The project started in March 2018 in The Aran Islands and in the end of April 2018.
Operation Flow
Archangel Michael is hanging at the entrance of their guest house to greet everyone that enters their home. The aim is to create an impact as the viewer observes the piece, from this it draws the viewers eye closer to see the details involved.
