The final piece, it contains folio 124r from the book of Kells on the right, I've made the missing crucifixion scene on the left then given the whole thing a calligraffiti makeover, all biblically accurate. This project was supported by Creative Scotland

I've cut out the cross to show the folio beneath (122v in the book of Kells) with the latin EXPUENTES IN EUM (spat on him) running through the middle, refering to the roman soldiers spitting on Christ, the centurion spits his wine out as he witnesses Christ 'giving up the ghost',
