7. I would love to stroll through Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle...

Chihuly is all about energy and freedom and exploration. He's all about innovation in glass. He leaves symmetry at the door and lets gravity out to play. He challenges the glass, putting images on it to see how they distort, allowing it to flow to see how it will bend and fall, and blowing it to its limits to see just how thin he can make it. Chihuly Garden and Glass plays homage to the remarkably inspired work of a man who simply doesn't believe in limitations in glass, in art, in beauty.


It looks and sounds enchanting. I read about his background at the exhibition, his schooling at RISD. However, I never knew of the garden in Seattle. I would make it a first priority when I visit Seattle. Thanks for sharing this.

I love the flash mob and Ode an die Freude, such joy!

Beautiful, freshwest. Simply beautiful~
