Title: Creation
Image # PenA1GenF
The Saint John’s Bible
Volume: Pentateuch
Artist: Donald Jackson
Seven vertical slices represent the days of creation, beginning with
fractals and the Hebrew word for chaos. Gold is used throughout as symbolic
of God’s intervention in the chaos and his ordering of the universe and its
elements; hence the gold squares are applied geometrically, starting with
day one and expanding progressively outwards and upwards in influence until
reaching the serenity and simplicity of the Sabbath.
