Difficult Women

A series of drawings exploring the women in mythology who have, one way or another, been demonised for simply being female.

“After Paradise” - In Christian mythology, often, a woman was either wicked Lilith, or virtuous Eve. Either way, they were born to serve men, and they were always going to fall in the end. But perhaps there is a freedom after paradise, when the two are no longer are pitted against each other and can finally rest.
