More Information

McMillan used an x-ray machine at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History as her light source to create photograms (cameraless photographic images) that reveal the internal structures of plant and insect material. Her goal was “to capture images that reveal the beauty of natural forms usually invisible to the eye.”
