Artist's Comments

She said, "what is history?"
And he said, "History is an angel
Being blown backwards,
...into the future".
He said, "History is a pile of debris,
And the angel wants to go back,
... And fix things,
To repair the things that have broken,
But there is a storm
...blowing,
From Paradise,
And the storm keeps blowing
.The angel
...backwards,
Into the future.
And this storm
...this storm
...Is
....Called
.....Progress


-Laurie Anderson

Really cool poem, and a very nice looking picture.

Wow, what a wonderful picture...plenty of emotion behind it, and I bet it has a story to tell. ^_^

This is where i'm suppose to come up with something profound, but it never happens.

If I interpret it correctly, Original Sin?
I really love the way the lines of the poem have been placed across the photo. And the colouring is great ~ one immediately sees the apple.

It's actually a spoken word song by Laurie Anderson called "The Dream Before". Very beautiful if you can find a download of it.

Wow! This is really neat? How did you go about the editing part of it? (I am learning..)

Thank you.
Lots of layers in photoshop. Separate ones for the figure, the wings and the backround. All the lines of type we're placed on separate layers with various opacities, blurring and layer options (mostly 'overlay' if I remember correctly).
