From CNN:
The colossal cascades and currents that flow by Niagara Falls have inspired countless artists with their majesty, but Isaiah Robertson was compelled by a vision that they would be the backdrop to the apocalypse. Calling himself the Prophet Isaiah, Robertson spent years painting elaborate wooden cut-out shapes with symbols, including stars and crosses in a riot of colors, to adorn his home — inside and out.
Situated on a main street in a residential neighborhood, his kaleidoscopic assemblages stood out amid the brick and vinyl siding on either side, especially as they became more ornate over the years. “I spent an enormous amount of time there, and people would all the time stop their cars because it’s an arresting experience, and he really enjoyed talking to people and giving tours,” says Fred Scruton, who has photographed art environments across the US. He first visited what’s known as the Prophet Isaiah’s Second Coming House in 2010. “He wouldn’t even take credit for it. He said it was God moving his hand.”
