Chihuly: The Nature of Glass

The CHIHULY “The Nature of Glass” exhibit at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens integrates the flora of the Arizona desert with elegant glass sculptures of a fantastically pseudo-organic design. I find an interesting connection in the way both the flora and the glass sculptures are born from the desert sands. The apparent delicateness of the glass serves to contrast with the unique and hearty plants specialized to extremes of their environment. Dale Chihuly, an American glass sculptor and entrepreneur, is the creative force behind this exhibit of surreal botanic art.
