Plucked from Eden

£1,200.00

Oil on canvas covered board

Painted area: 50 × 40cm

This painting is about hope, a disrupted narrative, regeneration, love and an alternative way forward.

Creation stories and symbolism in the melting pot here include:  

-       Adam and Eve, the apple tree and the snake from Eden – the creation story is a little disrupted by the divine goose in this version, for a more hopeful future…

-       The goose, who according to Ancient Egyptian creation myth lays the cosmic egg that heralds the origin of the world. [In ancient Celtic Christian belief, the wild goose also represents the holy spirit.]

-       The cosmic egg from which the world is born, which may also be the sun, depending on how you interpret Ancient Egyptian creation stories

-       The gates of the underworld (illuminated manuscript style)

-       The holy grail for unity with the divine (whatever that means to you)

-       The apple seed as a source of life, and Eden’s fated apple tree, guarded by its dragon protectors

-       Love as a source of life and power

-       The phoenix – a symbol of regeneration, hope and better things to come
