Literary Artist Statement By: Cody Ashy Milton in his epic poem of Paradise Lost describes Eve’s deciscion to indulge in the forbidden fruit of knowledge. “The Rude Awakening” depicts humans yearning for knowledge by showing the knowledge that is released with every decscion they make. In the piece of art the small figurine is encased in a protective covering, but the covering has a hole in it over where she is. This represents that after the decision she is no longer protected by ignorance. The purple flower in the bottom right hand corner represents the land humans knew beofe the big ordeal. To the right is a pile of purple mess, and this represents the ugly world after the desciscion. The fish above the flower show the beauty of life that was in the Garden of Eden. The dominoe and writing of a six represents Satans influence on the tempation that caused the deciscion. Each white toothpick represents graves, which show the uncovering of death in this new society. The tube opening in the middle alludes to Pandora’s bow opening a new wind of knowledge to the world.
