Chihuly glass… photos by Shelley

by Frank Paynter on May 3, 2006

Shelley posted more of a wonderful collection of photographs of a current Chihuly garden glass installation in St. Louis. I saw the Chihuly collection overhead in the Bellagio some time ago… how long has it been since I was in Las Vegas? It was probably for Comdex… anyway, I didn’t appreciate the guy because the stuff was jammed together overhead and impossible for me to grasp — seventy feet long and masterfully wrought and I just thought it was cluttered — purely colorful, but cluttered. The garden installation captured with Shelley’s lens gives me an appreciation for Chihuly as a top notch glass man.

Mark Woods linked to Shelley’s first batch of these a week or so ago.

There’s been a lot of criticism of his work, but it was a delightful surprise during this last visit.

Thank you for the kind words, Frank.
