Kaleidoscopes? Love Them!
I ues my travel photography, computers, kaleidescopes, mirrors, reflection, refraction and light to inspire and create.
Desert Kaleidescope
Larger than Life Kaleidoscope
Burning Man 1999
My first kaleidoscope I built as an interactive art installation for Burning Man 1999. Constructed from ABS sewer pipe, plastic Christmas tree stand, hallway mirrors, lazy suzanne, mirror and picket fence. I now have more managable hand held models.

Rather than frame a scene, this scope fragments it,
engaging the viewer in metaphors for a changing world.
