Split Staircase
Artwork Narrative:
“I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than
dwell in the tents of the wicked… O Lord Almighty, blessed is
the one who trusts in you.”
(Psalms 84:10,12)
An arch frames stone stairs
illuminated by sunlight on the side.
In the center deep wine red darkens the landing
of two stairways.
Guide me to where you dwell, Lord.
A lit chandelier hangs above.
PSALMS - Chapter 84:
1 For the leader; "upon the gittith." A psalm of the Korahites.
2 How lovely your dwelling, O LORD of hosts!
3 My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the LORD. My heart and flesh cry out for the living God.
4 As the sparrow finds a home and the swallow a nest to settle her young, My home is by your altars, LORD of hosts, my king and my God!
5 Happy are those who dwell in your house! They never cease to praise you. Selah
6 Happy are those who find refuge in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrim roads.
7 As they pass through the Baca valley, they find spring water to drink. Also from pools the Lord provides water for those who lose their way.
8 They pass through outer and inner wall and see the God of gods on Zion.
9 LORD of hosts, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob. Selah
10 O God, look kindly on our shield; look upon the face of your anointed.
11 Better one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. Better the threshold of the house of my God than a home in the tents of the wicked.
12 For a sun and shield is the LORD God, bestowing all grace and glory. The LORD withholds no good thing from those who walk without reproach.
13 O LORD of hosts, happy are those who trust in you!
