[B9] X-Ray Project (Surgery make-up)

I've been brainstorming how I can incorporate my insanely crazy cool spine x-rays into my art.  I came across some amazing, amazing x-ray art that I had no idea people were doing.

My ideas for my x-rays were possibly creating some sort of lampshade from them, so that light would shine through and show them.  This could be like a Japanese paper lantern with screens, possibly.  However, after doing my own personal research, I've decided that the best product may be achieved by digital means.  My x-rays, unlike the following, are solely the bones and titanium within me.  However, with the use of photoshop and stock images, I could mold my x-rays into images such as the ones below.  I would certainly position these from the back, so as to more easily find my body type in a stock image.  I believe I could shop my incision into the picture, as well.  If all goes well, the product should turn out similarly to the following.













My research on my x-ray project also showed me that artists are using x-rays of plants, animals, and inanimate objects to create beautiful art which one cannot see with the naked art.  By x-raying these objects, an entirely new beauty shows through.





The art of Nick Veasey is also one you may want to check out. :)
