Ultimate Reflections- David Sugich Kaleidoscopes
This is an interior shot of my Inner Vision kaleidoscope. This two mirrored kaleidoscope is one of my first inventions. This scope has one wand filled with glass beads and glitter on the end and another along it's base. When one is viewing this kaleidoscope the tunnel wall in the interior of this scope actually moves towards and away from you. This creates a dazzling three dimensional effect using only one eye. The reflective quality of the wand serves as a mirror and an object cell at the same time. It has four different effects according to the directional flow of each wand. The still picture doesn't do it justice, but its the best I can do for the moment.
This picture is of one of my "At the Round Earths' Imagined Corners" kaleidoscope. The name for it was taken from a religious choral piece I sang the tenor part in my Highschool choir. It is from a religious holy poem by the english poet, John Donne. That particular choral piece's majesty made an impression on me... and it's words stayed with me. I was initially so jazzed to discover that in my new kaleidoscope; It could make a sphere out of squares that the next thing that came to my mind was this sonnet. "So, it must be!" I said to myself... "Maybe they aren't so imagined after all! If one can find them in a kaleidoscope, then yes! The earth does indeed have corners!.. The name was soon to be discovered to be also fitting by the shear holiness of its image as a whole... for in the center of this kaleidoscope in the first one, was a blood red cross.. (which could symbolize.. well you know...) out of which shined a luminous star that shimmered its light outward into a vast space. There was and continues to be a true holiness about this image to me.
This is an image into one of my most popular kaleidoscope designs. I name this scope "Yin Yang" In this scope, there are two separate images the top one that explodes in a two dimensional array of color and light symmetry and the bottom one that recieves the top explosion and implodes it back into a void.... Its very striking!
Here is a shot inside my "Nova" scope design. This 3 dimensional kaledeidoscope is my latest invention. It is tapered from large (in the viewing side) to small (on the wand side). It allows the viewer to view with both of their eyes. One sees a series of orbs made up of squares in a variety of colors. An orb inside an orb inside an orb and finally an orb at the end of the scope which two small wands on the scopes end serve to create a checker moving checkered pattern. The most unique thing about this kaleidoscope, is not only its image, but it also has in it majic dust which falls towards and away from the viewer and there appears to be an actual 3d explosion. Like real fireworks of white light!
