Visitor comment Thanks for always doing rad stuff for kids. Visitor comment NONA GARCIA ILLUMINATE 2018 Nona Garcia grew up visiting a small hospital in Manila run by her parents and became fascinated by X-rays at a young age. The medical imaging technique represented one of her first remarkable experiences of looking at things in a different way. In her artwork, Garcia uses X-ray images of sea coral and animal bones — such as horns, skulls and teeth — to form spectacular designs. Her installation for APT9 Kids invited children to form patterns and designs by rearranging a selection of magnets made using X-ray images, which symbolised the impermanent, and therefore precious, nature of life.
