This print came about through the discovery of a particularly unusual foil material called Resplendent Film (7119VAH) which is typically used for packaging. The way it changed in the light in a phantasmagorical way immediately captured my imagination… surely this is what Heaven must look like.
I teamed up with Foilco Ltd to make this print happen. Its production pushed all involved to the limit to achieve my vision. With a film as delicate as this one it was extremely challenging to laminate only two thirds of the sheet. This was due to registration issues and witness lines, which in the end, could potentially devalue the work and effect of this incredible outcome. We were all dazzled with the final results.
