Chihuly's Lime green icicle tower arises stunningly from the ground! This lime green icicle tower measures more than 40 ft high, contains 2342 individual glass pieces mounted on a steel armature in the centre. It took one week to assemble this at MFA's family courtyard! — at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Each colored blown glass is put together full scale in his studio, photographed, taken apart and reassembled on location..
His works are a part of museums, botanical gardens, historic chapel in Jerusalem, and a winery in the Napa valley..amongst others. Chihuly uses blown glass as a vehicle for sculpture, focusing on color and form.. He has studied glass in Venice and a Master of Fine Arts of the Rhode Island School of Design.
In 1976, while Chihuly was in England, he was involved in a head-on car accident during which he flew through the windshield. His face was severely cut by glass and he was blinded in his left eye... Nothing can stop a person's creativity, right?
Chihuly’s most recent installations have focused on the idea of the garden glass! Looks like large eels planted in greenery!
This stunning display hangs from the ceiling! Awesome ..
