Ben Kruisdijk-Rontgen Etchings

Images from www.theanatomist.org/ben-kruisdijk

 These are images from  a dutch artist named Ben Kruisdijk,these images are from an exhibition called 'Rontgen Etchings'.He uses X-Ray scan photographs as a canvas for his intricate and proportionally correct etchings of birds,small animals and insects.The detailed hand drawn pictures change the whole feeling and perception of the work.The X-Rays he uses contain some quite serious illnesses and procedures,including broken bones and brain tumours.This work links in quite well with Lucy's.Both her and Kruisdijk's work involve animals in quite a dark and maybe sinister manner with each coming from a contrasting angle.The drawing aspect interests me also as the images look to be either scratched or etched into the photograph's.
