According to the book of Genesis, the first consequence of Adam and Eve’s sin was that ‘the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.’ Referencing versions of this subject by Lucas Cranach the Elder (c. 1472-553), the figures here have been scaled up to human proportions and made decorative through psychedelic colour and embroidery.
