While our society is focused on the outside and appealing surface of things, Nick Veasey uses industrial x-ray machines to delve into those layers, revealing a far more beautiful, and complex, inside.
This particular artists work makes me feel really connected to what he is trying to project through these images. It forces me to try and think beyond the vaneer of the subject which is something that I wouldn't have thought about usually. The way he exposes the different pieces, how beautiful something so normal looks, things that we are surrounded by everyday, and how now I perceive them. I think about the design of it why it has that form, what it is made of and how it works. I think it makes people really appreciate and wonder what goes on inside things that are around us constantly.
After reading about this artist and the different thinking processes that go on behind his masterpieces, I was left with a piece of information that the artists bases his work around, and that really stayed with me...
"Why is it so important to look a certain way? Inside we all function the same way and I think it is not a person's face or ‘look’ that makes them what they are."
