Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills - from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in
from this time on and forevermore.
"This work, featuring maps of the more than 30 places I have lived,
invites reflection on the contribution of high mobility to a sense of
'homelessness' that pervades contemporary culture. It is created with paint
and screened imagery on packing paper from our most recent relocation.
It is backed and bound in cotton fabric and tied using buttons."
