In the creation poem of Genesis 1, after everything created there is this line… “And God saw that it was good.” From the beginning, the Creator declares their creation good. Now I’m not saying I’m God, but, as an artist I’m challenged by this. If I believe myself to have inherent goodness because I’m God’s created one, then my work can also reflect this. The problem is, my creation poem often spouts the line… “And it sucks.” This photograph evokes in me the gift of that first garden and of knowing that my worth is not held in me alone but I am worthy because of the goodness of my Creator. And because I know this, I can look at my art and say… “it is good”.
