I’ve been working on katazome for the upcoming Art at St. Kate’s show on July 25th. Meanwhile I want to share a few amazing images sent to me by my brother Joe, who is an anatomy professor and world-famous ichthyologist (I have always enjoyed bragging about my siblings). He and my sister-in-law captured these images of sea creatures and garden flowers in the lab using soft radiographic (x-ray) technology. In his words, “soft radiographic imaging (X-rays produced at low kilovoltage) can be used to document differences in structural density in a variety of organisms. When used in conjunction with extremely fine grained film, it is especially well suited to displaying details in vertebrae bone, invertebrate exoskeletons and the leaves and flowers of plants. Conventional high voltage X-ray technology is not capable of producing such highly resolved images.” Beautiful!

These really are a new way of weeking these things – so exciting! Thankyou for sharing.
Sorry my dyslexic fingers – it should have been “looking” not “weeking” – not quite sure how that happened.
How amazing.

Whoa… very very cool. Nature’s art collaborating with technology… is very beautiful!
