On the previous pages, we have mainly focussed on the concept of X-RAY TAGs. However, we have also worked on the production of plates to display photos, graphics and patterns to create objects that are simply beautiful to look at.

As described above, other metals can be used in addition to the special material used for the X-RAY TAGs. So far, brass, copper, bronze and alumium have been used.

The metal layer is not printed on the plates, but incorporated in the plates as a kind of intarsia.

You may have already seen some examples of such objects on the previous pages, but on this page I would like to focus on these.

Let’s start with the picture of a young woman with red hair, based on a photograph I had taken. In addition to brass, copper was used here.

For the picture of an elderly gentleman, a colour photograph was first converted into grey scales, rasterised and then manufactured into a brass-in-acrylic plate.

Below three iconic ladies, their images rasterised and the plates manufactured as brass-in-acrylic. Unfortunatelly, the metalic shimmer of the brass is not well represented in the photos.

And an another icon:
The self-portrait of Käthe Kollwitz, as bronce-in-wood and brass-in-acrylic.

And another lady, in woodcut, this time by Picasso:

But animals can be displayed as well.
As an example: Albrecht Dürers’ “Rhinocerus”:
A.D.’s picture, the brass-in-acrylic version, and an inverted b/w picture of the later.

Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa, slightly modified, in brass-in-arylic.

And here a labyrinthic cube (10x10x10 cm) with an amazing pyramid, in brass-in-acrylic.

Finally, again Anna of Kleve – in a mirror.
