I’m on a mission to relocate from Colorado and pursue something new. I’ve been interested in the Pacific Northwest, so my mom and I took a weekend ‘girls trip’ there to check out the vibe.
Chihuly was listed as the #1 thing to do in Seattle, and the art nerd in me got excited. The scale of the work is the first thing I noticed because it towers above you. Secondly, infinite colors. Everything is so vivid!
I sat in a theatre room and watched documentary clips about his process. This art form is so hands-on and unpredictable. Glass blowing isn’t for the faint of heart! I’m also impressed by the installation process, especially considering he’s had exhibitions across Europe. It’s great to see art being approached co-collaboratively. He was a visionary, but it’d be impossible to complete something like this without help. He also described seeing “beauty in the randomness,” which is something I’ve kept with me.
