Same 'ol. Same 'ol. Try a different material or, at the very least, a unique configuration. X Rays are FAR too overused in contemporary art to have any edge or impact.

I no longer work at the radiology lab where I got to take slightly over or under exposed x-rays home (providing I cut off the personal identifying names and birthdates first) but they're still sitting in the bag... I also had the idea of collecting various x-rays that including artificial things inside the bodies (pace makers, replacement hips, pins holding breaks together, etc) until I had enough to make a whole bionic man then build light box to hold it together. I had built up about half the person when I got the sack unfortunately. The pacemakers were definitely the coolest looking thing to x-ray though, circuitry shows up really nicely. That and barium enemas which light up the whole lower intestine track.... yummo. I’ve had about 50-60 x-rays sitting in a bag for close to four years now with the intention of doing this.

Even though we are digital, we have film printers. Also look for any clinics or imaging centers. A veterinary office could be an interesting place to ask as they generally use older equipment.

She sells them at Trunk in Dumbo, Brooklyn. I think she also has an Etsy shop as well. We saw them at Apartment Therapy. Donna Brady of Re-Surface does graffiti lamp shades.
