British Artist Pearl John is a holographer and educator. John uses large format holography as a medium to examine issues of self-identity. She combines holographic images with text, video and photography to reach toward the meaning that exists at the boundaries between words and images, and between artist and viewer. Her latest hologram 'The Good Medicine Cabinet' was produced - with the assistance of Sam Moree - during an arts residency in 2007 at the Center for Holographic Arts, Long Island City. The piece explores our reflective nature, and how it can inspire personal, spiritual, and social change. The Good Medicine Cabinet was exhibited at the A Space Arts Organisation's Open Exhibition 2008, in the Bargate Monument, Southampton, UK. John taught holography and helped develop the curriculum on the world's first dedicated three-year Photonics course aimed at High School students in Columbia, Missouri, USA. John currently works with local school and college students - for the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southampton in the UK - inspiring an interest in Science and Photonics in particular. Pearl John graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Holography in 1992. Her holograms and installations have been exhibited in Japan, Europe and throughout the USA. John has a holography studio at the University where she continues her work as a holographic artist.
