A view of artist David Mach’s sculpture ‘Die Harder’, at his workshop in London, England. The piece depicting Christ on a cross, is made from 3,000 coat hangers and forms part of a four-year-long project by the artist to mark the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible in 2011. It is due to be installed inside Gloucester Cathedral where it will hang along with other sculptures from renowned artists including Damien Hirst and Marc Quinn as part of the ‘Crucible’ exhibition.
