The Knife Angel

A sculpture currently outside the Perth Museum.

Made from over 100,000 seized blades, it was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change.

My opportunity to photograph the 'Knife Angel' sculpture, which is currently in my home town of Sunderland for the month of June.
Made from over 100,000 seized blades, it's here as part of the National Youth Anti-Violence Tour and created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour.

The Knife Angel is a contemporary sculpture formed of 100,000 knives, created by artist Alfie Bradley in order to highlight knife crime in the United Kingdom and educate young people on the harmful effect that violent behaviour can have on their communities. Some of the knives are from police amnesties.

Standing at 8.2m, it has toured around various UK locations. Currently (June 2024) in Keel Square, Sunderland. #KnifeAngel #sculpture #contemporary #PublicArt #KnifeCrime #AlfieBradley

it is, without doubt, one of the strangest public art projects I've seen, and I doubt it can in any way be helpful for it's supposed objective but…

it's very cool, and an impressive work. also quite large

it's on tour, if you get the chance it's worth a trip
