Angels often come to come to mind around Christmas, so it seems fitting that Amy Caron\u2019s \u201cAngel Series\u201d is currently on display at Frida Bistro. The playful pieces are suspended cheerfully from the ceiling and add to the atmosphere of Jorge Fierro\u2019s restaurant. \u201cAesthetically, I think my work fits there because it has a Mexican folk art feel to it,\u201d Caron says. She added they fit seamlessly with the \u201ccolorful and festive\u201d vibe at Frida Bistro.<\/p>\n

Caron began working on the angels after finishing \u201cHolotype\u201d which had been commissioned by The Leonardo. \u201cIt was a monumental work that took a lot of time fabricating,\u201d she says of the sculpture that towered 20 feet in the air and sprawled over 4,000 square feet. \u201cI was feeling saturated by making things in that scope.\u201d The angels gave her a smaller scale project. \u201cIt\u2019s almost like getting back to journaling after writing a huge text,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Each Angel has a distinct personality and a unique name. Among others, there are Camael, the angel of joy; Aurelio, the angel of formal attire; and Esteban, the angel of resplendence, and fifteenth-century French Gothic architecture. Caron says that when she created the angels, \u201ctheir personalities evolved naturally. It wouldn\u2019t be very interesting for me to do mass production and crank out a bunch of the same looking things,\u201d she says. The pieces are adorned with a variety of unexpected materials ranging from ice cream sprinkles to fake tattoos. \u201cThere are some fun surprises in them,\u201d Caron says.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the little touches that intrigue viewers. \u201cPeople are drawn in by the materials, the details, and the characters. There\u2019s a lot to laugh at, and they\u2019re very charming. As a group they create a very ethereal sense of joy,\u201d Caron says.<\/p>\n
