Bite 12 by FP: Water is used often in the Bible to signify change and new life – for the better. But not every person’s life journey leads across calm, supporting water. It can be dangerous and the vessel found unsatisfactory. This sculpture represents one of those times.

Bite 12 by NN: According to the Book of Revelation there will be no sea in heaven. In some biblical texts water was deemed chaotic and too dangerous. This suggests there is little future for Noah’s Ark. In the world to come his vessel will certainly be an unsatisfactory form of transportation. However, with Noah’s dedication and ingenuity, wheels could be attached so that the various life forms taking refuge in it can be moved around and distributed throughout the few remaining ecologically appropriate habitats still left standing amongst the mansions of heaven. As a result of town planning in earthly cities, not every creature has had a safe journey across the landscape of calm and supporting waters. Human beings have thrown many overboard. Perhaps this is how the dinosaurs became extinct.
