Nick Gentry and recycled art - tools and techniques

Nick Gentry is unpacking old materials which people have posted to him, revealing a box of old floppy discs and some X-rays that he will recreate into a portrait. He uses X-rays for tonal ranges and transparent layers, as an alternative to traditional canvas and paint.

The artist reads a letter to demonstrate how people have sent personal things to inspire his work and he feels that to make a connection he sends them something in return such as a piece of artwork.
