Adam and Eve garden roller

Eric Gill (1882 - 1940)

Leeds Art Gallery

1910 - 1920

This garden roller was actually intended for use. Gill secularised the biblical story: it was intended as a simple everyday object, part of the work ethos, in which Adam and Eve are literally having a roll in the Garden of Eden.
