The series is based upon the first chapter of the book of Genesis and the first three verses of Chapter 2. Each piece is 12x12, and is finished with simple, unobtrusive black wood molding, attached as a frame. It is very difficult to capture a true image of how these pieces appear. The series uses reflective glass & other reflective techniques to create life and depth, as well as to add specific meanings. The appearance changes, depending upon the lighting and the direction from which the piece is viewed. This technique is typical of my Biblical Art.
1 In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty,
darkness was over the surface of the deep,
and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Genesis 1
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good,
and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light "day,"
and the darkness he called "night."
And there was evening, and there was morning
-the first day.
Genesis 1
6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse
between the waters to separate water from water."
7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water
above it. And it was so.
8 God called the expanse "sky."
And there was evening, and there was morning
-the second day.

Genesis 1
9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be
gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear."
10 God called the dry ground "land,"
and the gathered waters he called "seas."
11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation.
And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation:
plants and trees bearing seed according to their own kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning-the third day.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years,
15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
16 God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth,
18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning-the fourth day.
20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."
21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."
23 And there was evening, and there was morning-the fifth day.
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.
25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning-the sixth day.
Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
