Master of Glass – Dale Chihuly


IMG 1485 06.26

Dale Chihuly is a glass sculptor from Tacoma, Washington.

I’ll admit, I’m far from an expert on glass sculpting and what these artists are capable of.. but what Dale Chihuly magically creates with glass is really something astonishing..

I am going to share with you a number of pieces from Chihuly’s 2006 exhibit at the New York Botanical Gardens. Though there are a number of newer and current installations worth checking out.

What I found most interesting in my research, was the knowledge that Chihuly no longer actually works on the glass himself. After being in a head on collision and losing an eye and dislocating his shoulder in a bodysurfing accident, Chihuly was no longer physically able of creating the likes of the following masterpieces. Instead of finishing his career there, he hired others to do the work.

“Once I stepped back, I liked the view” Chihuly describes his role as “more choreographer than dancer, more supervisor than participant, more director than actor.”

Needless to say, Chihuly’s grasp of the glass and its limitations is amazing. His sculptures can be so fluid, full of movement and energy, but he also has the knowledge to make the material more mellow and somber.

Chihuly has dozens of installations and examples of his talent along with some great videos of the process at his website

    Ahaa, seije angenehm Dialog über diesem Artikel ann

    auch zu kommentieren hier.

  17. I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be just what I’m
    looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs?

    I wouldn’t mind creating a post or elaborating on a number
    of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome website!

  18. Men’s fashion is often unnoticed and a noticeably major some of it is includes cliched possessions.
    It is now that the fashion world initiated a policy of acknowledging the contemporary man’s needs and is looking beyond the plain black suits
    or basic t-shirts. A associated with designer labels offer clothes for men for types of
    occasions.

  19. I believe what you wrote made a bunch of sense. But, think
    about this, suppose you added a little content? I am not suggesting your content isn’t solid, however what if you
    added a post title to maybe get people’s attention? I mean design tavern » Master of Glass – Dale Chihuly is
    kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and see how they
    create post headlines to grab people interested.
    You might add a related video or a related pic or two to
    grab readers interested about what you’ve got to
    say. In my opinion, it could bring your website a little livelier.

  29. Hello, after reading this amazing article i am also happy
    to share my experience here with mates.

  30. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  31. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it
    seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your
    intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could
    be giving us something informative to read?

  32. Hello there! Do you know if they make any
    plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization?

  39. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

    I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you’ve hit
    the nail on the head. The problem is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy that I found this during my search for something concerning
    this.

Captain Feline – Blending Pop Culture with Cats

felineship

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters! Whilst the debut t-shirt illustrations by Dave are inspired by cult and classic movie characters, the team plan to increase the range to feature other pop culture icons as they grow and expand.
