I imagine you’re already familiar with the work of glass sculptor, Dale Chihuly. He makes extraordinary sheer pieces that seem lighter than air. Many times, he creates elaborate installations in public gardens.
I got to see some of his work in St. Petersburg, FL at Chihuly Collection. Here are a few of the pieces we saw.
A typical “chandelier.” Many are about 10 times this big.
An installation of “platters.” Notice the shadows, too.
“Platter” detail.
As you can see, the lighting is an important part of any Chihuly exhibit. Don’t you love it?
A typical Chihuly ceiling: MANY “platters” face down on a plate glass support. This was shot looking straight up.
Aren’t they amazing? If you ever get the chance to see his work you’ll definitely want to. Especially if it’s an outdoor installation. In the meantime, enjoy perusing his website.
I hope you get to see some awesome art soon!
