EDEN’S FAMILY
JUSTIN WILLIAMS
In this new series of paintings, I have been painting people that I have a connection or no connection to, focusing on the painting informing me of a memory that represents that figure as apposed to the physical appearance of that person, as the works started to come together I was reminded of old stories that were forced down my throat in primary school about Christianity. The Garden of Eden always stood out to me. I am not a religious man as such, however I always enjoyed the stories. I approached the work in the same way, allowing the process to inform the works, not particularly getting tied down into representation of the main characters in the story of Adam and Eve, but imagining what would go on in Eden, the other unmentioned people and things that might be encountered in that world.
