Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida talks of finding the essence of his mother in a photograph. Inspired, I collected eucharist from the catholic church. On Nov 5th I protested their crimes against humanity at The National Portrait Gallery by spitting the Eucharistic in a live Performance piece to create the most accurate portrait of Jesus in history. This image is a silkscreen print mixed with eucharist of that image.
