Ruach ~ The Spirit Hovered PRINT

Creation, that hovering between what is and what is to be..

This painting was based on Genesis 1:1, the first book in the Christian Bible and Jewish Torah.

‘In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.’ Gen 1:1

The word for ‘hovering’ comes from a bird known in the region, a dove in fact. Evidently this bird can hover in mid-air, staying basically in the same place a little like a hummingbird does here in North America!

If you look closely at the painting, you may just have a shapeshifting experience, because, while you can look at it one way and see a bird’s beak, if you look another way it turns into a face looking down, with a crown of thorns.

At least that’s what I see! I’m not sure anyone else can see it, you’ll have to let me know!
