Living Dioramas

Three living dioramas played as one album, one argument in three movements: the heavens declare the glory, the light is received in a dark room, and a city set on a hill shines it back out. Every scene is painted in layers that move to its own song, under one family law: the sources stay still, the light does the living, and the ground never shakes, because somebody is standing on it. These ones move; click through and press play.

3 pieces

Layers painted in the Electric Hymnal register. The sounds are My Nation of Fire, How He Loves, and Ordered Steps. Psalm 19:1, Psalm 36:9, Matthew 5:14.

A painted night landscape in navy and gold: a radiant four-pointed star over layered mountain ridges, monumental baobab silhouettes, and a tiny rim-lit figure walking the near ground.

The Heavens Declare

Movement I: creation preaches. A still of the stacked layers; the real piece moves, layer by layer, to the music. Press play on the series page.

A painted dark chamber where broad gold beams fall from a high arched window with cross-shaped tracery onto a stone floor, dust glowing in the shafts, pew backs and a small kneeling figure silhouetted at the bottom.

In Thy Light

Movement II: the light is received. Inside the dark room the light enters, a great window whose tracery is the North Star Cross, and the music entering as light. Press play on the series page.

A painted night scene: a city of stone houses and towers crowning a hill, windows glowing warm gold under a starfield, a small chapel spire with a four-pointed cross finial, and a tiny traveler with a lantern on the winding road below.

A City on a Hill

Movement III: the light shines out. A night city whose windows play the music, found by reading the painting itself, and a traveler carrying a lantern up the road. Press play on the series page.
