Artist's Comments

He took her for his concubine. A wife but not wife. A lover but without love.
And leaving him, took her back. But in the taking took her too late for journeying. She begged for Jerusalem to go, but in those days Jerusalem was not of their people. So to a city of their people he dragged her. But their people proved otherwise.

The old man took them to his home and when the mob descended demanding strange flesh, he proved his courage. Saved himself and threw her to the night.

And in those days there was no king
and everyone did what was right in their own eyes

In the story she is never named.
But now she has a face.

From the ongoing series IN THE TIME OF THE JUDGES

Intense. Seems to have a little more of a negative undertone than a lot of your work, but perhaps that is in keeping with the subject matter.

I like this one. You know I'm a fan of being given a face. I'd forgotten you were working on this series.

What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream.

Thanks, Joel...and yes. It's a horrible story. I'm still working my way through it emotionally. At it's heart is how far we can descend when we abandon our sense of right and wrong...or redefine it by our own standards...

That is such a sad narrative... you've illustrated it beautifully.
