Label Text"Left Sided Angel" reflects DeStaebler's profound humanistic vision and concern with fundamental issues: the relationship of human beings to their environment, to themselves, and to each other. The precariousness of humanity's place on earth is a theme that runs consistently through his work. DeStaebler declares that "the ability of the angel to stay upright affirms the ability of humankind to stay in balance."
