Colour Holographic Strawberry Jug

Last month I told Mike Medora of Colour Holographic that I had a new exhibition in the pipeline, ("HOLOGRAMS 2", opening at the Buckinghamshire County Museum in Aylesbury, UK, on July 24th), and asked him if he would like to contribute a piece to the show.

He and some colleagues came over to my house and borrowed a few objects to record and yesterday Mike returned with a superb 30x40cm hologram made from a pretty piece of English pottery I have had for a few years.

The team at CH:Mike, Nigel Robiette, Gideon Raeburn, Manuel Ulibarenna and Inaki Beguiristain, have been working on Colour Denisyuk reflection holograms for a while now, but this is the brightest and deepest image I have seen to date. We compared the plate (CH's own emulsion) with examples from other well-known colour hologram specialists and it was considerably brighter. A superb achievement and one that is guaranteed to knock a few people's socks off as the exhibition tours the UK.



I should point out that the whites in the hologram are better than in my photograph of it.
