The biblical account of Adam and Eve is more than a human creation story. It is a complex exploration of the relationship between man and woman relative to each other and their environment. Guest Carver Neil Eyre, in his third limited edition box figurine for HK, probes this topic. While Eve gently caresses the serpant, Adam pulls back. Is it that women are overly open-hearted, gullible, or just plain sinful? Well, we know how this story ends. Before the fall, nature smiles with a yellow sun, cascading waterfall, and flowers abloom. But soon, the skies are broken by lightening, the dove flies away, and a wasp and thistle remain. “Milton Wuz Ere” is a reference to John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost; the curious spelling is Rotherham speak, Neil’s hometown in the U.K. “N4B” refers to the sculptor’s devotion to his wife and business partner Bernadette. Peak inside to see an apple core.
