Genesis - Sin and Redemption - The Garden

The story of the fall and original sin is centered around a piece of fruit from a tree in the center of the garden. After the fall, sin entered the world and death followed. The ideas for this piece stem from that phenomenon; dying fruit, vegetables, flowers, etc. Here are some photos and a video that inspired the work:





Boxes and boxes of fruit, vegetables, and flowers were donated from the local Whole Foods Market. They were taken and used to line the stage of each service, to create a garden like atmosphere. From a distance, most of the fruit looked good, but upon closer inspection the produce was damaged, cut, wilting, bruised, and dying. We also had a photographer take pictures of an apple with a bite out of it, in a woman's hand. They were printed on large photo paper and included in the installation. Here are some photos from the services:
