Get Your Profile Lathed into a Dowel
March 15th, 2006 . by JillyI came across this on Boing Boing. I need this!!!
TurnYourHead is a service that makes custom-lathed dowels that contain your profile, like an MC Escher litho come to life, starring you, you, you.
At Turn Your Head, we fill the space between two opposing profiles of your face. By spinning that space into a three dimensional “visage” that follows the outlined silhouettes of your two profiles, we create the “Pirolette”.
Place the “Pirolette” to your face and it will match your profile. Locate it near a wall and the shadow of the “Pirolette” will be your silhouette.
Your profile captured forever in an object of art. An optical illusion of shadow and light, each one unique because it’s you!
