"Some time ago I was given a wonderful book by the children of the Shapla Primary School in London, where I have been ‘artist in residence’ over the years. It was The Muslim Creation Story, beautifully written and illustrated by the children themselves. I was struck by the similarities between it and the Christian creation story. "As I began work on Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden I had this book at the back of my mind, together with the knowledge that the garden is a symbol of peace and tranquility, of growth and education, of all that is best in human endeavor, in just about every culture in the world. "When I visited the Eden Project I was bowled over by the sense of connectedness that imbues the whole scheme. It seeks to show us how what we eat, what we wear, our medicines, our religions, art, politics, mythology, and history are all inextricably linked, and that above all we are linked to each other in a huge, exciting, and unfolding story."
