Richard Jolley (American, b.1952), Tableau, 2006. Blown and hot sculpted glass.

Using imagery from the Bible’s creation story, Richard Jolley’s Tableau series depicts a nude Adam and Eve figure standing before a large apple in the Garden of Eden. Quintessentially Jolley, the characatures’ exaggerated features and the use of color give Tableau an almost comic-like quality.
