'The Second Day of Creation'

"On the second day of creation God created the sky."

My 2024 solo exhibition 'New Earth' explored our divine connection to nature and the cosmos via the book of Genesis’ creation story. A cosmogonic story that took the viewer from the Earth’s conception over six days through to the seventh, the Sabbath, a period of peace and prosperity, or to some: the ‘New Earth’.

In this piece 'The Second Day of Creation', I celebrate the sky, which is referred to as an "expanse" in the Bible, when God "separated the waters above from the waters below".
