Anorexia Angels by Isle of Wight artist Veronica Grimm

A new breed of Angel is evolving. For millions of years angels have been slightly plump cute looking things with time on their side and little wings.
With the upsurge of eating disorders many would be angels are arriving with limiting weight to size dimensions.
It takes upward of two stone of energy to transform a human into an angel and this tends to come from natural body fat, without this excess angels are now little more than wings with eyes.
These three wraiths are awaiting their transformation.
