Science into Art: Manipulated Digital Radiography (X-Ray)
Artist Statement - “The concern about the environment, massive technological changes, and
human interference with nature -are all subjects that are on my mind. This collection of
radiographic images (from a mammogram machine) represents artistic interpretations of changes
in organic objects and hopefully stimulates conversation on the environment. Human
advancements can have both positive and negative results. I am presenting new views that
explore the inner structures - both beautiful and curious and sometimes disturbing glimpses of
common objects.”
