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

    Minerales Y Piedras Preciosas
    En estos tiempos de la inmediatez en las redes sociales, la política en Venezuela cobra
    características propias de aquellas novelas del continente suramericano que integraron a la perfección elementos mágicos y fantásticos,
    con la realidad de cada personaje. También tiene una opción en el
    momento de contratar en la que puedes elegir instalar Joomla, WordPress Prestashop de una vez, es decir una vez finalizada la contratación tienes el sitio
    listo para comenzar a agregar contenido e imágenes. Estas creencias pienso que pueden ser un negocio donde unos cuántos se
    llenan de dinero y los pendejos son los títeres.
    Imagina los que te pierdes en cada trayecto del día.

    Conmoción en Salta, Argentina, por las Maldiciones de un Concejal Esotérico:
    Guillermo Capellán, siendo Presidente de la Comisión de Hacienda, quiso cobrar los impuestos al
    hermano del Alcalde/Intendente Alejandro San Millán, Antonio San Millán. En tercer lugar tenemos GoDaddy el mas famoso registrador de nombres
    de dominio y proveedor de servicios de alojamiento web.

    Así como un padre castiga cuando desobedecemos, así Dios castiga y nos da la oportunidad de recapacitar a través del perdón y
    de comenzar una vida en él de forma sincera, recordemos que a Dios no podemos ocultarle Nada.
    Hay muchas personas que no se sienten con la capacidad con el ánimo suficiente como para producir las toneladas de contenido que
    son necesarias para lograr llevar un flujo significativo de clientes hacia una página web.

    Entre ciertas cosas que deberías saber están: conocer los servidores
    a fondo, saber cómo funcionan los programas informáticos que usan tus clientes (al menos conocerlos para dar buen soporte, macanudo si tu personal los domina porque
    eso no es lo common Hosting) y una amplia experiencia en la parte técnica para arreglar cosas que siempre pasan con los
    servicios de hosting.

  47. Thanks for the auspicious writeup. It in truth used to be a enjoyment account it.
    Look complex to more added agreeable from you! However, how can we communicate?
