Industrial Paradise Lost

The book explores the interplay between William Blake's 1808 illustrations for John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Ted Chapin's contemporary sculptural reinterpretations. Chapin's sculptures, resembling mechanized extensions of Blake's original artwork, reflect on the theme of an industrial paradise that has faded away as society transitions into the digital age. Through this fusion of art and technology, the work invites readers to contemplate the evolving narrative of Adam and Eve in a modern context.
