Nick Veasey.

During my research I came across Nick Veasey who is an x-ray photographer.  I was extremely inspired by what he said about his work and I felt it to be very true to the direction I want to take this project.

“We live in a world obsessed with image.  What we look like, what our clothes look like, houses, cars, etc…I like to counter this obsession with superficial appearance by using x-rays to strip back the layers and show what it is like under the surface.  Often the integral beauty adds intrigue to the familiar.  We all make assumptions based on the external visual aspects of what surrounds us and we are attracted to people and forms that are aesthetically pleasing.   I like to challenge this automatic way that we react to just physical appearance by highlighting the, often surprising inner beauty”.

I love the intricate detail that comes from the x-ray and there are so many different textures, shapes and lines that could inspire my designs.
