Folded
accordion-style, the entwining illustrations in this book depict the
constant struggle between the seven virtues and seven vices.
The artists’ illustrations are
encased in a hardcover binding mimicking a children’s book, but
the graphic images inside are anything but innocent. Drawing the
seven virtues and seven vices in combat, the artists present a
striking look at classic moral themes that operate today in oblique
ways.
The images have been created
through a collaborative process that originally began as a game of
snakes and ladders. Cecily Moon drew the virtues; Sandra Meigs drew
the vices. They then took turns entwining the personified images of
virtue and vice in combat, creating images that refer to centuries
of tradition.
