Cosmic Egg Holoscope by Gary Allison

This is a rare Cosmic Egg Holoscope by Arizona based artist Gary Allison. The Cosmic Egg’s shape is a truncated icosahedron! There are 51 mini clear glass marble inserts set into its corners that are reflected by 30 internal mirror panels. The exterior faces of colored glass are made of soft glass that is hand cut and beveled. In between all of the glass panels and mini glass marble inserts is hand applied and sanded grout that has 2 layers of sealer applied with a small brush. Each polyhedron is drawn by hand, the pattern is cut out, and then the mirrors are cut using these precision templates. Gary has been creating Holoscopes since 1999 and the Cosmic Egg is by far the most intricate and complicated that he makes. Truly honored to share his work with you through our gallery! Dimensions on this piece are 5.5in x 5.5in x 6in.
