Noah and the Ark

Deluge Refuge (2008) (11 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 3")



Found objects often suggest appropriate themes. In this case, it was a wooden shoe mold with SAFETY stenciled on the side that was the inspiration for this assemblage illustrating various chapters in the story of Noah and the Ark, found in Genesis 6-9. The key in the top of the "ark" is a reminder of God's personal touch in closing the door behind Noah, his family, and his menagerie (see Genesis 7:16).
