Specter Squares - Original DCG Hologram

$30.00
Sold Out
A handmade glass hologram, showing a pattern of bright spectral squares against a clear background. Replays in saturated deep blue and cyan in reflection mode, with the compliment of red, orange, and yellow in transmission mode. Quite mesmerizing, this is an active hologram as it is moved with illumination.

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 handmade dichromated gelatin on Aug 29, 2021. Produced using powerful lasers: 488 nm Coherent Sapphire and 445 nm Ahura ECDL.
After development and processing, the delicate holographic layer is laminated behind a 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.
