Artist's Comments

Final Project for Senior Studio, an exploration of how we consciously or subconsciously associate sin with femininity, demonizing women in the process. The seven deadly sins as various mythological monsters (however I purposefully removed all the fantastical bits because, in fact she is just a woman, not something to be feared).
:D

Lilith, who rejected Adam (and God) when he would not treat her as his equal, thus becoming a demon who hunted and strangled infants.

Excellent work! Can't really say too much on this one without repeating myself ad nauseaum but I'm gonna say I remain very much impressed with this series. :) Very well done!

Ah, I knew she sounded familiar. Why is she connected with greed though? From the monster she now is, or from when she wanted to be treated as an equal, and she was overstepping herself? Beautiful work all the same; I love her expression and the background.

In literal- bible reasoning a woman wanting to be equal to a man would be asking too much.

I think she looks hurt.

I love the muted colouring on these, lovely.

Ah... I guess that would be right in biblical context. Times sure have changed since then, huh?
