Rayograms

Here are some of the final rayograms I created. I was very pleased with how my rayograms turned out, I mostly used metal objects in my rayograms, reflecting the idea of robots that I took from my music. The nuts and bolts along with the cables reflect this idea well. I also used jewellery as this shows many different size and shaped chains, as my music sounds a lot like the clinking of metal much like the noise chains make.

Here are some smaller rayograms I created, the interesting thing about these is the texture. To create these different textures I used a variety of objects, including bubble wrap, a scarf and a pattern that had been printed onto laminate. When using the bubble wrap I had to give the paper much less exposure time as the bubble wrap looks much more effective that way.

Above are some of my test strips from my workshop in the dark room learning how to create rayograms. It is important to do test strips to ensure that the paper receives enough light and the correct amount of exposure to create a successful image.
