Helen Twigge-Molecey

Two centuries ago, Scottish scientist Sir David Brewster was conducting experiments with light and mirrors and noticed they could create “an infinity of patterns”.  He built a device and called it the Kaleidoscope – literally meaning “observer of beautiful forms” after the ancient Greek words kalos (beautiful), idos (form) and skopius (view).  Within three months, 200,000 of them had sold in London and Paris alone.

“Kaleidoscopic: Unexpected Beauty”
is a contemporary celebration of Brewster’s extraordinary invention. 

Helen’s interpretation uses the original concept to see mundane objects from the world around you – a barcode, a broken watch, even a parking ticket – in a new light.
