Our Lady of the Cobwebs

Our Lady of the Cobwebs was created for the cover of Hellebore issue 3 (a slightly different shot from the same session was used for the zine cover), but it fitted in with the Acid Renaissance series well.

Maria J. Pérez Cuervo’s brief - to create my version of the cover for one of the paperback editions of The Dark World of Witches by Eric Maple, but in my own style - was irresistible. My photograph takes the pulp cover illustration and amplifies and subverts the inherent Roman Catholic iconography of the Virgin Mary (with a hint of Miss Havisham).
