The Creator

This piece is simply a bunch of pieces of scripture snipped out of different places and glued, ransom note/Waffle House sign style onto paper. I love the imagery of a master craftsman meticulously plying his trade:


"The Creator"

In beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,
laid the beams of the earth thereof,
stretched a line across it,
set the foundation,
established the cornerstone,
measured the waters in His hand,
meted out heaven with a span,
comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure,
weighed the mountains in scales,
and the hills in a balance.
He made the sea, and His hands formed the dry land
He stretched out the heavens by His understanding,
They are the work of His fingers,
and He ordained the moon and stars,
He is the Maker of the Seven Stars and Orion
Who binds the Plaides
and brings forth Arcturus with his sons
and calls out the Mazzeroth in her season.
There is nothing too hard for You!

What is man that you would be mindul of him? And think upon him?
And be made in his likeness for the suffering of death?
