Pixel Parade - Glass Laser Hologram

$35.00
Sold Out
A handmade glass hologram, displaying strips of colorful squares against a very clear background. Produces lovely color spectra when light passes through (transmission mode), and deep saturated blue and violet via reflected light. Wonderful in the sunlight!

Holograms are very difficult to photograph and are much better in person. There is much more depth, dimension of color, and texture to the holographic layer that cannot be described.
Recorded in safranin-O sensitized DCG on Sept. 5, 2021. Produced using 568 nm Coherent Sapphire laser.
Emulsion layer formed via mold coating using hydrophobic and hydrophilic silane treatments on opposite sheets of glass. After exposure, the plate was dehydrated with a series of isopropanol baths prior to final development with a heat gun.

After development and processing, the delicate holographic layer is laminated behind a thick sheet of glass. The edges are ground and beveled with a series of diamond lapping wheels, then polished on a buffer to a glossy shine. The result is a jewel-like faceted appearance and an excellent feel in the hand.

The number in the corner is for inventory tracking. It can be easily removed with an alcohol wipe. Holograms are best viewed when illuminated with light coming from a single point, such as a flashlight or spotlight.

Custom work is also available. I love making holograms, and custom orders are the most rewarding. Please contact me for details.
