Artist Paula Dubois immerses her entire being in the wonder of nature. Let is a body of work that emerged from this
sense of wonder. These pieces were inspired by the Creation story found in the ancient biblical text, as well as by a
poem by Kei Miller called The book of Genesis.

The images depict moments from Genesis chapter 1, a text that speaks of words taking shape, and thoughts coming
into being: ‘Let there be light…; Let there be a vault between the waters…; Let the water under the sky gather in
one place…; Let there be light in the vault…; Let the waters teem with living creatures…; Let the land produce living
creatures…. Let us make mankind…’

In his poem, Miller speculated about what our lives would look like if we allowed our silent dreams to come into being.
Through these paintings, Paula considers whether this is even possible. Can we possibly live our silent, unspoken
dreams by allowing ourselves to be seen and loved by the Creator of dreams? Can this be true even of dreams we
thought were meant only for us?

Paula works mainly in ink, a translucent, versatile medium resembling the fluidity of the ocean, yet capable of
producing a solid, opaque surface.

Creatively and spiritually, she draws from a celebration of ephemeral beauty. Reflecting on the often fragile, fleeting
wonders of daily life, she explores an ambiguous space where life and loss, light and darkness, the eternal and
transient sway in delicate tension - mysteries that keep pointing her back to the Creator, in Whom all things hold
together.
