SALT THE EARTH (THE DESTRUCTION OF SHECHAM)

Description

Shot three years ago, but created this past Saturday.

As the story goes, Abimelech, the bastard son of Gideon had taken over Israel by killing all seventy of his brothers in one day. When rebellion against him began from the city of Shecham was reported to him, he took his army and destroyed the entire town, killing every man woman and child and salting the earth behind him. He was the epitome of evil....

It was a labor intensive piece to shoot with all of the costumes, weapons and armor. But that's what it required. Three years ago we shot this, but this was the day it came into being. I gave myself ten minutes to do the final painting over the images; going from full black to the final piece.

I'm quite proud of this work and the story can be found in Judges 9.
