Stone Angels Ed Snyder

"Simply put, my work merges art and photography with society's desire to come to terms with death and dying. That others find meaning in the work is an unexpected gift."



Stone Angels is a book of text and original photography celebrating the grandeur of Victorian funerary art and its most notable subject, the cemetery angel. These ubiquitous denizens of the garden cemetery lend themselves to transformation into powerful photographic imagery.



In traveling the world (well, some of it), Ed Snyder reports back with his funereal findings and shares new artwork that he has created in these Victorian sculpture gardens.
