    These are so beautiful, Sylvia! I've seen other photos but not visited in person. Your photos make the sculptures so much more personal. Thank you!

    Glass sculpture is in a category all its own … it must take a special talent to create such colourful wispy creations that look like sea creatures frozen in time.

    I love his art, and those are some great examples. A true original, but one of quality, not just shock value. Have a great week, Sylvia!

    His stuff is wonderfully colorful and creative.

    I once sat across from Chihuly at a dinner (I was on a board and my company kicked in some money) and found that his creativity doesn't extend to being able to explain what he does. If you asked him how he came up with a particular effect, his answer was usually "I tried something and I liked it."

    So interested to read this post as I recognised the work instantly as there is a sculpture of his in Berkeley Square, London. Fantastic when you see them close up.
