Perforated Bowl


The "Perforated Bowl'  my first contribution to the 'cabinet of curiosities' for the Isle of Scilly Camera Obscura project.
I visited Scilly a couple of weeks ago to see the state of play with the camera obscura project that Andrew and Be Combes are building on St Mary's.
I have been commissioned to create a number of pieces for the old windmill that will soon be the camera obscura.
Andrew and Be intend not only to create a fabulous viewing area inside the old windmill but also to create a gallery of curiosities within the interior.
You can find out more about the project by visiting their Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/scillycameraobscura

The perforated bowl is a gift for a couple, when the relationship is over the bowl must be 'torn' along the perforations and each partner has a half.

I have also designed three of the windows with optical structures these will be completed over the next few months.

Great fun and a wonderful opportunity.

Many thanks to Andrew and Be Combes for their vision and blooming hard work
