Artemisia Dawn #2
(2003)
Carbon Pigment Ink Print

Around 1975, I began
experimenting with making
x-ray photographs of
flowers and other objects
mainly out of curiosity.
These efforts were just for
fun, but I kept the idea in
the back of my mind to get
serious about it someday.
Well, before I knew it, 20
years had passed and the
artform was almost
forgotten. There have been
a few other x-ray art
photographers over the
years, with the earliest
floral radiographs made
around 1914. The choice
x-ray equipment for floral
radiographs is almost as
rare as the art form itself.
Most hospital diagnostic
x-ray equipment is much
too powerful for recording
delicate flower details.
