This print, created from an X-ray image, reveals the fine details and workmanship used to create this Georgian Mantua dress, especially the 4.5kg of silver thread that adorns the garment, creating the distinctive Tree of Life design. In his unorthodox practice, Veasey is able to capture exquisite, poetic images that unravel the layers visible to the human eye and show us what lies beneath.

About the artist
about the ...

Nick Veasey

Nick Veasey is a British artist who exclusively uses X-rays to create his work. Since 1997, Veasey has used X-ray machines to fuse science and art, showing the unseen side of everyday objects, creating beguiling scenes and adding humour to this ordinarily medical medium. Multiple exposures of the same object are oven overlaid or digitally combined to reveal different textures in the final image. Veasey has harnessed the potentially dangerous technology to capture exquisite, poetic images that unravel the layers visible to the human eye and show us what lies beneath.
