Artist Evelyn Rosenberg invented a remarkable technique to make
sculpture by forming metal with plastic explosives. After many
months of experiments in the mid-1980s with an Israeli explosives
engineer, she discovered how to refine this unique process to make
large-scale, intricately designed works of art and named the new
art form Detonography. Working in the New Mexico desert, near where
the first atomic bomb was tested at the Trinity Site, she
transforms powerful weapons of destruction into tools of
creation.
In this book, the first to showcase her work, she describes the
history and genesis of Detonography and explains from conception to
installation how a piece of explosive art is made. Her method is
documented step by step with the richly detailed photography of
John Trotter, a personal history, and an essay by Gideon Sivan, the
explosives expert whose technical work served as Rosenberg's
original inspiration.
