This work is a collaboration by Liverpool-based sculptor Arthur Dooley and embroiderer Ann McTavish. They decided to come together to compose a multi-media work for the Cathedral. However, Dooley did not complete his portion of the project because of his untimely death. So, McTavish searched all of Dooley's works for a sculpture that would work alongside her completed part of the work. Thus she found the golden sculpture of Christ with outstretched arms, Dooley's imagining of the resurrection, to appropriately complement the tapestry.

Acquisition method

Initially started in 1992, Dooley's untimely death in 1994 halted production. McTavish had already completed her part and fought for the work to be completed by finding a previously created work of Dooley's appropriate for what they had previously discussed for their collaboration. In 1997 The Fabric Advisory committee approved the application to display the work.
