THE
FLYING ANGEL |
|
| |
The symbol of the Flying
Angel is an integral part of the Flying Angel
Club worldwide and is also etched into the memory
of Fremantle city.
The Flying Angel holding
the book is part of an icon in the city mall
(High Street) and has been created from the
original symbol on the outside of the Flying
Angel Club Fremantle building for the past 40
years.
The artist has presented
a mosaic of Fremantle icons in the footpath
artistry adjacent to Culley's Cake Shop.The
new Flying Angel Icon is stylised in a contemporary
form and featured on this webpage.
At first glance the Flying
Angel appears to be on a stained glass window,
however this artistic masterpiece is on footpath
slabs that are the walkway and meeting place
for many people.
