The images in this site are xeroradiographs produced at the Xerox Medical Research Center in Pasadena from 1978-1985. The commercial name for this technology is mammography and is used to detect cancerous breast tissue. I was greatly affected by the work of Anna Atkins who used cyanotype during the mid-19th century to better understand the structure of the natural world. As I continued doing this work I fell in love with the beauty and complexity of the structures revealed and their potential to symbolize broader cultural meaning.
