This individual work is part of the artist’s VEIL OF VERONICA series created within THE OPEN STUDIO IN PRINTMAKING. The narrative is based on Christ s execution on Good Friday. On His way to Calvary, Christ stopped in front of a woman named Veronica, who stepped out from the crowds and wiped the blood and dirt from His face with her veil. According to Early Christian legend, an exact facial imprint of was transferred onto the cloth.
