Chihuly Glass at the San Diego Mingei Museum

I thought I would catch your eye with something beautiful after a day of eating too much. Glass. I’d like to have a piece or two, especially of Dale Chihuly’s art glass work.

Chihuly writes,
“The Baskets turned out to be one of the best ideas I ever had. I had seen some beautiful Northwest Coast Indian baskets at the Washington State Historical Society, and I was struck by the grace of their slumped, sagging forms. I wanted to capture this grace in glass. The breakthrough for me was recognizing that heat was the tool to be used with gravity to make these forms.” –Chihuly
