Nigel Henderson's photograms, or "Hendograms" as he called them, were created using an enlarger bought for him in 1949 by his friend Eduardo Paolozzi. Henderson experimented with this "crude drawing instrument", as he put it, exposing found objects and debris to light on photo-sensitive paper. He described it as a "method of drawing of all kinds of marks and energies of line and shape and texture".
