VIGIL ART • CREATION

Each year, my church observes Easter Vigil, one of the most liturgically complex worship services. This year we won't be able to because of COVID-19 and emergency measures. So I created a series of play-prayers for members of my congregation as they stay at home and shelter in place.

The thirteen Vigil readings (12 Old Testament, 1 New Testament non-Gospel) depict God's presence throughout salvation history. Each year I get to figure out how to visually depict six or seven of them. Since I won't be creating them for church/work, but I have free time, I decided I would work on all thirteen. And invite others to do the same.

Challenge #1 = CREATION, Genesis 1:1—2:4. Your interpretation in any medium.
