You might know pyrography – the art of decorating ornaments or depicting objects on wood by burning it with special heated tool.
But there is another form of burning the canvas to create images – the so-called heliography or solar pyrography. It uses magnifying glass and the power of the sun to engrave into the material, and so represents a new form of art.
