8am, a very grim and dark Tuesday morning, with intimidating clouds and a bitter wind whipping around the north-facing wall where tiling of the Angels was to begin. I had agreed to go down with Richard (video-diarist) to record this moment, so we watched and chatted with Andy as he mixed up the tile adhesive and selected the first mosaic panels to apply. As he touched the wall with a swathe of adhesive (remember, it's a north-facing wall), a shaft of sunlight appeared directly on the few square feet where he was working. Panel number 3 went on and the light – really quite bright now – stayed until the second panel went up, and then quietly faded.
And so begins the landing of Rising Angels...
