About the Artwork

Archangel is a mixed-media wall sculpture by artist Katherine Holzknecht. This piece is part of a series of sculptures that feature a patina finish. It balances free-formed and precisely ordered elements. The artist notes, “When I look at Archangel, I get a joyous, uplifting feeling from it, and I hope that others who view it get the same type of feeling.”

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Mount Vernon School District.
