My fascination with kaleidoscopes began with something wonderfully simple: the way a small movement could transform everything I was looking at.
The pieces were still there. The mirrors hadn’t changed. Yet with the slightest turn, an entirely new pattern appeared.
What began as an exploration of light, colour and symmetry gradually became a deeper curiosity about perception itself.
Why do certain patterns capture our attention? What makes something familiar suddenly appear different? And how often do we look without really noticing?
Over more than two decades of creating kaleidoscopes and working with projected light, these questions have continued to shape my work.
LOOK AGAIN grew from that curiosity.
It’s an invitation to notice what happens when we give ourselves another moment to see.

Watch the patterns unfold. Then watch again. What catches your attention the second time?
SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE
Discover the unexpected relationship between light, colour and personal perception. Through shifting patterns and geometric forms, familiar ways of seeing are invited into question.
Step into a shared visual environment where light, movement and geometric symmetry create opportunities for discovery. Explore how different observers encounter and interpret the same evolving patterns
Experience kaleidoscopic light and geometric form beyond the confines of a traditional viewing instrument. Large-scale visual environments invite audiences to explore the relationship between space, symmetry and perception.
Unlock the expressive potential of your architectural space, gallery or cultural environment.
Through LOOK AGAIN, I invite curators, institutions, hospitality venues and creative collaborators to explore original, site-responsive experiences that bring light, colour, geometric form and human perception into conversation.
From immersive kaleidoscopic projections and curated exhibitions to participatory encounters and educational programmes, each collaboration offers the possibility of transforming an ordinary environment into an extraordinary space for observation, artistic discovery and shared experience.
Projects can be developed in response to the character, audience and possibilities of each location.
For more than two decades, I’ve worked with glass, light, colour and geometry, exploring the extraordinary relationships between what we see and how we perceive it.
What continues to fascinate me is that a kaleidoscope does more than create beautiful patterns. It offers a moment in which something familiar can become entirely new, simply through a change in arrangement or perspective.
LOOK AGAIN is an extension of that fascination. An open invitation to explore the spaces between observation, recognition and interpretation, through art, curiosity and shared experience.
Whether you are drawn here by a love of visual discovery, an interest in perception, or the possibility of bringing this work into a new environment, I invite you to continue exploring.
LOOK AGAIN begins with a simple question: What else might there be to see?
This is more than a portfolio of reflections. It’s an open door to slow down, play with shadow, and design a life that observes itself with beautiful clarity. Let us begin.
