Twelve kaleidoscopic tableaux portray the Old Testament story of the creation - seven momentous days in which God creates the world: light and dark, sky and earth, fishes, birds, animals and finally man and woman. Fiona French's images - inspired by the organic lines of Art Nouveau and Louis Comfort Tiffany's stained glass - combine with words taken from the Authorized King James version of the Bible to bring the Book of Genesis into glowing perspective for readers both young and old.
