Genesis

This is my genesis piece, drawn a few weeks shy of a trip to Ibiza, the islands were calling to me.

Partly in response to an art competition positing the question ‘Where is God in our 21st Century World?’ I thought what if God is our 21st century world?

Our rock. Life raft. Deism. Theism. Pantheism. Over time these rocky atolls evolve, change, slowly, as rocky atolls are want to do; sometimes moving, often still, barren, bereft of anything at all; overgrown with moss and trees, circled with birds and radar stations.

They represent me, and us, a striving for connection to each other and a larger universe, a living universe. Of deeper meaning. Social media. Performative isolation. Vibes. Lockdown. Totems of Quarantine.
