at University College London. "The result is a most unusual and highly objective form of portraiture with a powerful, poignant beauty ... which develops in a challenging way the concept of self-representation." Using CT scans, Palmer also recreated an Egyptian child mummy in glass, which is on permanent display in the Ashmolean Museum. The sculpture is exhibited next to the actual mummy, allowing viewers to see details of the child as a three-dimensional drawing without disturbing its bandages. Using this method, Palmer has also created portraits of Carol Vorderman, the novelist Robert Harris (who based a character's oeuvre on Palmer's art in his book The Fear Index); the head of Eclipse, the world's most famous racehorse, and an endangered green turtle from Bermuda. Palmer developed this technique further by using NASA data from the Kepler Telescope to show its discovery of potentially habitable planets. Her sculpture, Searching for Goldilocks, is in the permanent collection of The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington. In collaboration with Renault Formula 1, Palmer deconstructed the world's most successful engine used by Sebastian Vettel in four consecutive world championships, to create a body of sculpture by dramatically upscaling its components. Palmer collaborated with Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, to make a sound and light installation, tracing a century of the evolution of the eight-cylinder engine. Using cross-sections, she also created the Rolls-Royce Ghost in glass to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care; it is currently in the Rolls-Royce headquarters. In her most recent project, she created The Geological Spine of Great Britain, sourcing rocks from every geological period to present a unique three-billion-year walk through the history of our nation. To illustrate the most recent geological epoch, the Anthropocene, marking the impact of man, Palmer created a faceted, rock-like structure in highly polished stainless steel, allowing the viewer to see his own reflection. Palmer's work Beneath the Surface: Self Portrait based on MRI was selected for the 2019 Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Award exhibition. Another of Palmer's self portraits was selected for the 2019 Scottish Portrait Awards touring exhibition. The Ghost Forest The Ghost Forest was a large-scale installation by Palmer in which she brought ten primary rainforest tree stumps from a commercially logged forest in Ghana to Trafalgar Square in November 2009. Palmer wanted to highlight the shocking rate of deforestation. She said "Today, a tropical forest the size of a football pitch
