Inquiry: World’s Largest Kaleidoscope
Mount Tremper, NY | World’s Largest Kaleidoscope – While staying at the Emerson Resort and Spa one of their biggest features is a silo that has been converted into a kaleidoscope show. The show is an interactive display of light, sound and form and tells the story of the universe through this. The display was created by a local film firm in NYC and by two artists. After the show, you find yourself in a gift shop fill of different kaleidoscopes ranging from all sizes and prices. The team at Emerson gifted me a travel-sized kaleidoscope that I now keep on my kitchen table. Not only is it a feast for the eyes, but this experience has inspired me a bit in my own photography.
The above image was taken through a triangle tubular piece and had a mandala panting on the back wall. This image is pretty cool and makes me wonder if I can recreate the effect by creating a kaleidoscope lens. Throughout the shop there were interactive displays where you can look through kaleidoscopes and spin a bowl of marbles to create your own visuals. This activity is complimentary for guests.

Photography: LoveLock
Collection: Love Lock
Year: 2015
After my 6-week trip to Europe for my residency in Greve in Chianti, I spent about a week in Paris. The lovelock phenomenon is when a couple at a point in their relationship travels to Europe and buys a lock as a ceremonious and symbolic act of ‘sealing’ their relationship. However, due to the popularity of this symbolic motion the infamous ‘lovelock’ bridge was taken down due to the weight of the locks in Paris. These bridges are often considered historical landmarks and upset locals as they are often destroyed.
