"Angel Birth" is a 'picture book for the end times', containing over 20 pages of visceral illustrations and prints by Noelle Richard, harmonizing with a prose/poetry piece by Marianne Agnes. The book tells the story of a silent voyeur witnessing the birth of an angel, her all-powerful newborn confusion wreaking environmental destruction in its wake. Noelle's visuals of barren Midwestern and Southern landscapes weave a shared imagistic language with Marianne's writing, depicting scenes of these two artists' motherlands and the present death befalling them both.
