ABOUT: Working with a model who is about the same age as me, we addressed age issues. The title is important, as always, for me, and has a nice play on words. He’s an interesting guy with a varied life, and a background in theater (amongst much else).

ABOUT: This is the result of a delightful session with a loving couple. There was a palpable connection and intimacy expressed in their poses. The multi-panels communicates change and time like a film strip, or panels in a comic. However, I’m interested in each frame communicating one aspect of their connection.

ABOUT: The Garden of Eden is such a rich theme and open to a multiplicity of interpretation. Here is the awakening of Eve, with lust, temptation, desire, some innuendo, and a final expulsion. There is a suggested narrative, though it is not linear, and much is left to the viewer to create his/her understanding of the painting. The different panels and images play off each other, each contributing to the whole.

ABOUT: I wanted my Eve to be confident, just like my model is. So many young women are self-assured and certain of their place in the world. This is how I like Eve to be.

ABOUT: I want my Eve to feel contemporary. She has no other trappings or references except the apple. Thus, we project onto her all our notions of the archetypal woman. The title does sway the viewer’s opinion.
