This view into a human body was made from scans of a member of the artist's family. The subject had an axial (horizontal slice) scan taken every two centimeters down the length of the body. The two-dimensional scans were then screen printed onto sheets of clear acrylic and the sheets arranged to reconstruct the body. MRI is an important diagnostic tool in medicine, and is often used to look for tumours and soft tissue damage.
