Ps. 138 – If I Ascend into Heaven Thou God Art There

Ps. 138—If I Ascend into Heaven Thou God Art There is a serigraph created by American artist Nancy Snooks, a pupil of Sister Corita Kent, a nun and head of the Art Department at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles, California. Throughout her life, Snooks explored a variety of aesthetics within the abstract and expressionist genres, but kept her content primarily focused on religious subjects. For a time, her prints emulated the pop art style of Kent during the 1960s and 1970s, with bright blocks of color and graphic texts. This print, from edition 36, is part of a series exploring themes in the biblical book of Psalms, number 138. The text on the print reads, “If I ascend into heaven, thou God art there.”
