Angel + Miner
A new interpretation by Christina Doll
The angel and miner figurines are at the heart of the culture of the Ore Mountains. Traditionally, families carved (or later purchased) an angel upon the birth of a daughter and a miner upon the birth of a son. The Berlin-based sculptor Christina Doll has created ANGEL + MINER, a sculpture of the pair of figures in a contemporary form. Her model for the angel was an actress with Down’s syndrome; she used the insignia of a worker from the Wismut mining company for the figurine of the miner. The first artworks of the edition have been installed, with more to follow.
