This is an older painting. It came about when I was confronting the difficulties of finding a good model. In the past, I had resorted to using a GI Joe. One day I made the connection between Ken and Barbie with Adam and Eve. The metaphor is perfect: prelapsarian humanity with no brain and no sexuality just like the hollow, neutered, 'irresponsibly proportioned' dolls. Here they are arranged as though a child were re-enacting the story - suspended by strings with the ubiquitous bluebonnet landscape as backdrop, harmless toy tiger and maraschino cherry for the forbidden fruit.
