The title and exhibition, The Living Watch Over the Living, advances the artist’s ongoing research on affinities shared between technological and spiritual mediums used as instruments in creating a record of one’s life. Silverman encourages a secular reading of Angels across Abrahamic traditions, drawing parallels between heavenly observation and man-made surveillance.

Silverman’s installation consists of a mythic tableau in glass, developed for the unique architecture of the space. Two translucent angel marionettes hang on either side of an illuminated bird in flight, pierced by an arrow. This blown-glass scene floats in front of an abstract landscape painted on the back gallery wall. The work is visible both day and night.
