Escher hologram project

The work of M.C.Escher has always appealed to holographic artists and designers, and it is not hard to see why.


Two of my favourite examples are  the 'Escher Staircase' produced by Graham Tunnadine for Applied Holographics ,

  

and Dominic Welby's 'Lizards', 

both from the late 1980s.

And of course there is Steve Benton's sublime 'Rind II', from 1978.

Now there is a new Kickstarter project, 3-D Holographic Designs inspired by Escher, from Javid Khan's Edinburgh-based company Holoxica.

So far, Holoxica has specialised in medical and scientific imaging, though one of their more recent projects, the remarkable Rhind Mummy hologram, has taken them into the museum world.

This new venture would apply the digital holographic imaging process to consumer products - holograms for the home - and Holoxica envisage a range of images in sizes from 10 x10cm up to 30 x 30 cm with lightsources to match. By pledging funds now you can hope to receive 

one or more of these new holograms before they are rolled out to the general public.

The following image, 'Starfield' is an example of what they have in mind.

There is precious little new on the market for enthusiasts of well-designed decorative holograms, so I wish Javid all the best for his enterprise and look forward to seeing the results.
