How Art Is Thought Up

Can any art or any medium or material carry the weight and burden necessary to acknowledge God?  No.  But God has so endowed some material, stone and silk come to mind, with such creative sincerity that it seems His creation of them was purposefully done, in part, to allow humans to creatively confess Him.  The same can be said of humans, are we able?  We are as the Spirit guides as we learn from Bezalel.
List of materials that could possible carry the burden of confessing God.
Stone
Silk
Gold
Water
Certain woods
Dirt (What an interesting thought seeing as how the word as a adjective
is used to describe something negative.  This word may be only included because of my involvement in clay.  However clay is a specific kind of dirt and I believe that many kinds of dirt could be able to confess God.)

Salt
Many natural spices, herbs and aromatics
Carbon
Precious stones including all crystals
Peril
Cotton
Certain raw pigments, cobalt, iron

Are there man made materials?
Penicillin
Certain Glazes, celadon and maybe shino

This will be the concept for my next work of art.
