The Third Dimension - Sphere and beyond

This is a range of unconventional kaleidoscopes which produce images with a 3-dimensional appearance. The objects viewed are similar to those seen in our conventional Limited Edition range, but the mirror systems, which produce the unique image geometry, are radically different. Several of these image forms are unique in the world.

This part of the "3rd Dimension" group produce images which are spheres and developments from the sphere.

The most complex of these is "St Basil", producing a "pierced sphere" image resembling the onion domes atop St Basil's cathedral in Moscow. This design won a top award at the International exhibition "Kaleidoscopes - 200Years" in USA in April 2016

St Basil

"St Basil", "Carousel", "Torus" and "Beachball"

"Geodesic"

Image is a sphere surrounded by a glowing geodesic lattice

"The Egg"

Strongly 3-D image appears as an ellipsoid, formed of rectangular segments

"Cassini"

Inspired by the completion in 2017 of the 17- year mission of the “Cassini” space probe to the planet Saturn and its’ moons. “Cassini” presents images of the planet and its’ rings, seen from two different angles.

The “planet” changes as the oil-filled object is rotated. The rings are static.

"Pearls"

Multiple repeats of the 3-D globe image extend through the field of view in both directions.
