As with much of my work the female subject is connected to ideas of womanhood, particularly the idea of Eve, as Eve continues to influence the modern western woman. Each image in this body of work focuses of the voluptuous quality of nature and the idea that a woman is connected to the earth. Yet Eve also represents seduction and the greed for knowledge, which banished the human race from Eden forever damming women to feel the pains of birth. She becomes all at once the fountainhead of men’s disapproval and esteem, pleasure and pain, forever trapped as the source of life and as the evil temptress tricked into doing the devils bidding.
