This catalog was published in conjunction with the exhibition "Considering Eden" at the Annenberg Community Beach House Gallery, Santa Monica, in 2011.
"...Whether approached as a real site or an imaginary ideal, the topic of Eden opens up a wealth of possibilities for artists to follow in their work. Lisa Bloomfield, Jane Brucker, Paula Goldman, Katherine Huffaker Jones, and Bob Jones, all mid-career California artists, approach the ideas of Eden as both corporeal and spiritual, real and imagined. These artists understand that Eden always implies a mythic utopian paradise as well as its tragic loss... We search for Eden at the same time we mourn its loss.”
– Damon Willick, from the Introduction “Considering Eden”
Also included are writings of four Los Angeles writers whose work engages ideas of nature and fragility; Katharine Haake, Rod Val Moore, Dorothy Barresi, and Karen Kevorkian.
