A pivotal moment in his early career, the initial version of "Other Side of Eden" was completed in 1980 while Devries was still honing his skills as a sculptor and drawing in the ballet studio. It was during this time that he witnessed a male dancer crash into a wall, but what he saw was not a mere collision - he saw the essence of this sculpture emerge. The profound impact of "Other Side of Eden" has resonated with countless individuals, captivating even those who may not typically respond to art. The Elliott Museum is privileged to showcase this extraordinary 5-foot sculpture, which was generously gifted by Linanne Sackett in 2023.
