Refracted Glass Bead Magic Portal

This geometric piece looks like a magical portal. I would like to know where it will transport me. The light is refracted in the glass beads. It projects an array of beautiful colours, and a tiny sprite is the guardian of the portal. 

I’m attracted to bright, shiny objects, and I noticed this interesting chandelier-style ring pendant in an apartment complex in Newstead, Brisbane, Australia. 

I experiment with patterns and attempt to create kaleidoscope-type imagery. Sometimes something magical is created. 

The photographs posted here started as a single photograph. I rotated the image, duplicated it, and locked them together. They’re recent additions to the Kaleidoscope series of black-and-white artworks. If you enjoy repeating patterns, here is a link to another journal entry that uses baby bird feathers to create an enchanting artwork.

I explore and document urban and natural environments, often focusing on reflections, shadows, and patterns. My camera walks allow me to capture found objects and scenes that tell stories through everyday details. In my journal, I share these explorations and offer a glimpse into my process.
