Travel to See: The Nature of Glass
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Until the end of May, 2009, an exceptional exhibit combining nature and the masterful glass works of Dale Chihuly is on display at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. This eye-popping series of displays encompasses the entire garden, with installations of colorful glassworks mimicking the real flora of the desert nearby.
The glass radiates light, warmth and sunlight (at night some of the works are lit) and allows the viewer a spectacular visual treat. Just inside the entrance, “The Sun” greets visitors with orange, yellow and red tendrils exploding from a core.
Another display consists of floating geometric-like figures that give an otherworldly feel as the glass shifts with the water’s flow.
