The Trials of Eve, ltd. edition |
 The Trials of Eve, softcover |
The work explores in visual and poetic form the history of woman based on the ancient story of Adam and Eve. This is a pictorial and verbal narrative in the form of a three- act play, describing Eve’s courtroom trial and subsequent tribulations. The disturbing drama ends on a note of hope for the future of men and women.
