Gary W. Priester’s 3D Stereogram Gallery
In this post you will see 4 stereograms created by Gary W. Priester, c0-author of several Magic Eye books of stereograms. Gary also has a lot of information on stereogram creation on his Eyetricks.com website. While next to impossible, I think, to create a true stereogram with fabric, these stereogram images certainly could inspire an idea for an art quilt, perhaps a series of art quilts.
Here’s a trick I use when I cannot quickly “see” the hidden image in a stereogram, whether in a book or on the computer screen. With the book or computer screen in a normal viewing position, stare at an object in the room that is further away, or hold something, eg. coffee mug about a foot to the side and further away from the book or computer screen. Focus your eyesight on this object “beyond” the stereogram for about 7 seconds, then slide your focal point in behind the stereogram, keeping your focus on the deeper object. Almost immediately, the hidden object comes into view.
If it doesn’t work, give it a rest. If you walk away from the computer screen and view it from 12 feet or so, you will see how the stereograms project a quilt-like effect. I hope these stereograms will spark an idea for an art quilt.
