During the Beginning
Materials: light, sound, words, handwriting, code, mouth, ink, water, glass, wood

During The Beginning is a series of installation stations based on Genesis 1:3, "And God said let there be light and there was light." Collectively, these stations perform the impossibility of reducing the creation event to words.
