The Intimate Apocalypse: Notes on a Pilgrimage into Revelation
Wanton Gospeller Press features the distinctive work of author and artist Jan L. Richardson, who designs and handbinds each book. In the Middle Ages, scribes and artists created richly illustrated manuscripts that invited the reader into a pilgrimage through the bizarre and beautiful book of Revelation. Inspired by these illuminated manuscripts, Richardson began an artful apocalyptic pilgrimage of her own. The drawings that she created along the way, and the reflections that accompany them, invite the reader into a thoughtful journey through one of the most hopeful, imaginative, and powerful books of the Bible. The Intimate Apocalypse includes twelve charcoal drawings by the author.
