I have long been intrigued by the ancient book of beginnings, commonly called Genesis, and the book of Job, thought to be the oldest book in the Christian Old Testament. My visual investigations to date include prints, drawings, and collage based on 14th and 15th Century paintings of Eve and Adam; two installations; and several fabric-based works.
