I saved fabric scraps from the Passion of the Earth series for several years now, waiting for the time when they would become a new art image. We Are the Eighth Day is the expression of the continuation of creation following the poetic seven days in the Genesis account. We now co-create in the unfolding dance with God and the Universe. What will we do with our precious lives on our Mother Earth?
