About: The Shroud of Turin is arguably the most iconic and studied image in human history - the greatest icon of all time. It is not a painting. It is a photographic negative created in a single, instantaneous burst of intense ultraviolet radiation and energy at the moment many believe Christ rose from the dead.
Scientific studies (including research from the ENEA laboratory in Italy) have shown that only a powerful, short-duration UV flash could produce the precise, three-dimensional, non-directional image burned into the linen without scorching or penetrating the cloth.
In this work I have taken that ancient relic and re-made it in a 21st century medium - aluminium, so the resurrection energy can be felt again.
