| ‘If there was an award for the most beautiful book of the year, Peasedown St John artist Sue Symons would stand a very good chance of winning it. Sue might also win an award for the most beautiful art show of the year too... [for these] beautifully and intricately worked panels’ Bath Chronicle ‘Artist Sue Symons spent two whole years bringing the words of Genesis in the Bible to life in a stunningly visual work of art that is moving around the UK. It is now causing a stir at Bristol Cathedral. Sue Topalian... a council officer who, in her own time, organises events at the cathedral... got in touch with the Post after a wave of positive comments in the visitor book of the cathedral next to College Green. She said: "We only put the [visitor] book out this week and already there are several people saying it is the best artwork they have ever seen. The more you look into it, the more you see. It has the most wonderful embroidery around the edge. I think it is amazing." ’ Bristol Evening Post Read the full article here: http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/news/Genesis-recreated-artwork/article-2458030-detail/article.html ' |

During 2009 Sue Symons will be completing her inspired artwork for a book celebrating the beauty and wonder of Creation which will have taken her over two years to finish.
It will consist of over sixty pages in a large format, each page framed with intricately embroidered borders. Using the poetic King James translation, Sue Symons has painted the text from Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis onto highly decorated and illuminated backgrounds – for a few examples click the book icon below.<>
