TITLE: The Spherical Earth Floats in Space
SIZE: 1.20m x 1.64m (47in x 65in)
The earth floats in space. While other sources placed the earth on the back of an elephant or a tortoise, or on Atlas’ shoulders, the Bible declared what is now commonly known—“God hangs the earth on nothing.”
The earth is spherical. Before any other historical record, the Bible declared that the earth was round.
In the tapestry, the radiation that the minimalist image of the Earth gives off is balanced by the intense color of the space that surrounds it.
