Adam-

Fantastic images. We are lucky to have a permanent collection of Chihuly glass here in Columbus. It is so interesting to see how similar the pieces are in this exhibit, yet they are displayed very differently from our botanical garden installations here in C-bus. The pitch dark backgrounds really make the glass shine, as if each piece was emitting its own light.

Bernie: Yep, quite a riot of color!

PottedFrog: Thanks, and welcome!

Montucky: Aye

Scienceguy: It was surreal. The forms are at once organic & familiar, yet distinct

Tors: Danke!

BrianR: I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Tom: Lucky you indeed! Sarah & I were looking through the book we purchased at the exhibit, which features the pieces in their original setting and both agreed it would be even better to see them “in situ,” but we’re happy that the exhibit is here, as it isn’t going anywhere else.
