dale chihuly: simply amazing.



reading the smithsonian magazine, i came across a name i had heard a while back: dale chihuly.
i remembered the amazing photo that one of my best friends, molly, took while she was abroad in london in 2005. the vibrant colors, the flowing...glass. yes, i said glass. chihuly is a pseudo-glass blower (as an accident when he was a young adult injured his shoulder and took sight away in one of his eyes), who designs brilliant pieces and then has other people do the blowing. it almost seems warhol-esque (an artist whom i also love).

it is now my obligation, as a citizen of the world, to attend a chihuly exhibit.
