“I have always found that Angels have the vanity to speak of themselves as the only wise...”
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, William Blake
Battle for the Skies is a spin-off series from The Doom, which was inspired by the Chaldon Church Doom painting, possibly the oldest of its kind in the UK, dating from around 1200 AD. Medieval Dooms are vast church wall paintings, representing scenes from the Last Judgement.
The angels and demons, which already underwent transformations in, The Doom series, are lifted from the architecture and further fragmented and hybridised. Now they are amassed for a great battle for the Skies. They clash chaotically in this meaningless conflict over a space that cannot ultimately belong to anyone.
