Product Details
"SideLit" {COLLECTOR'S ALERT!} is an unusual handheld kaleidoscope by American artist Charles Karadimos. The body was hand created in super glossy black slumped glass, it stands on the turning object chamber, which has a lovely black velvet bottom. The turning, dry object cell is side lit (unique for a Karadimos scope) and is filled with handmade glasswork bits and pieces, tiny glass ampules filled with itty-bitty beads, and has an internal black background. This sleek kaleidoscope houses a 2-mirror, 9-point system which produces meticulously detailed, absolutely beautiful, mandala-style kaleidoscopic imagery. Measures approximately 10"T x 3"Diameter at the object cell end. Signed (C.S. Karadimos), dated (2023), and numbered (012) by the artist.
