A Teleidoscope is like a kaleidoscope, but instead of containing beads, it has a lens you can see through. I was given one by a stranger (long story) and I pick it up at everyday and walk around, peering at everything multiplied, tessellated and reflected. Gosh, I’d always wanted one of these – I just didn’t know it.

1. This is my teleidoscope (like a kaleidoscope, but better).

1. Through it, my wrinkled pyjamas become intricate and beautiful.

2. My eyes grow in numbers.

3. The browns and whites and pinks of my eye turn into petals.

5. On the other side.
