I later read this Globe & Mail review and can agree with some of the sentiments. A lot of the 'Chihuly' name front and centre. I didn't realize he hadn't blown glass himself for nearly 40 years now due to an accident. (Seems to be somewhat accident-prone as he also lost an eye in an accident).
One of the most interesting things for me was the video showing some of the background behind what he has done, and how his approach changed over the years. He felt that it took at least 5 years to learn how to blow glass - not something you pick up in a weekend.
Here are a few of my phone pictures from our visit. (Click any photo to enlarge.)
A boat of glass.
Undersea garden?
Some cool-shaped bowl-like glass.
A glass tree
(This was one of my favourites and had an interesting visual effect. As you walked around it the tips of the 'branches' were always white, but the ones closest to you as you looked directly as the 'trunk' seemed blue. So it appeared that the branches were changing colour as you walked around it.)
Something to walk through.
Some small bowls
Fine lines and somewhat of a Native North American influence.
