Dale Chihuly

Just watched a dvd of his work. What and amazing process and vision. This really lifts the sole. This is a person who is free, confident, leader and carisma and vision. And how beautiful are the things that he and the team create.

Surprises for me are:

How team it is (chihuly does not appear to actually blow any glass).
How fast it is per piece (no reheat practice)
How much glass gets made (hundred annd hundred of pieces)
How many people (over one hundred)
The unlimited imagination.
How casually pieces get broken.

I did see the Chihuly exhibition at Kew Gardens in London and it was AMAZING. We went in the evening, the pieces were all fabulously lit. The most effective show was in the Temperate House where the pieces were placed in the planting beds and then lit - truly magical.
