Artwork Description

This is a mixed media art piece that attempts to mesh contemporary graphic novel (comic book) form with medieval imagery. The topic is inspired by an attempt to re-imagine the second phase of Dante's Divine Comedy: "Purgatory", in which a female figure (as opposed to Dante) remains suspended between hell and heaven.
