Subject
Illustration of two women sitting on a hill in dark dresses, one laying strewn, as if in despair, to the ground, the second sitting over her.
Description
The values of the illustration are kept dark and slurred, with wispy and overcast background elements pulling the silhouttes of the women to focus. The illustration serves as an example of Raleigh’s engagement with dread and anxiety, and the development of visual solutions to convey narratives with horror and fear within the genre. It additionally speaks to the potency of the dynamics between women in horror, and the recurring theme of shared feminine trauma and understanding in the genre.
