The Knife Angel

The Knife Angel sculpture, made from over 100,000 seized blades, was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful memorial designed to celebrate those lives who have been lost through these violent and thoughtless actions (taken from the website for the Knife Angel).

In January 2022, the Knife Angel came to Northampton, so I popped along to take a look.

I think this is a good way to bring people’s attention to some of the violent crimes that happen on our streets. What do you think?
