About the work

A closer look.

Everyone remembers the punishment. Almost nobody remembers her. They came for him after Fenrir was already bound. They turned one of his sons into a wolf and he tore his brother open, and they bound him with his son's own guts. Skadi hung a serpent over his face so the venom would fall on it, and it has been falling since. Sigyn sits beside him with a bowl and catches it. When the bowl fills she gets up to empty it, and in that one moment it hits his face, and the ground shakes, and people say the earth is angry. It isn't angry. It's him. The picture is not about the punishment. It is about her. Nobody ever tells the bowl. Everybody tells the serpent. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling is the bowl, not the serpent: eleven sentences, and she is in every one of them. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.
