Adam and Eve are among Harvey's earliest and most powerful human figures and seem to possess a life force all their own.
Plastic eyes create riveting stares.
Wood putty fleshes out nostrils as if a breath has been freshly drawn. Locks of human hair delicately frame entranced faces. Elegant, simple jewelry adorns both figures. Acorn caps serve as Eve's breasts and the serpentine contours of her lone attached arm cleverly suggest those of a serpent. The attenuated figure of Adam is androgynous, unlike later versions in which his sexuality is pronounced.
