Chihuly Exhibit at Desert Botanical Garden

Today I made my first visit to the Desert Botanical Garden here in Phoenix to see the Chihuly glass exhibit. It was a beautiful day and the glass sculptures looked awesome against the blue sky. It's the first time I've seen any of his pieces up close so it was a new experience. There were roughly 15-20 pieces installed throughout the gardens, and some smaller pieces in a gallery, which was also continuously showing a 90-minute video of his work process. I think my favorite pieces were the ones that seemed to work naturally with the desert environment.

Here are some of the sculptures on display -- some of them are quite tall.

The show will continue through May 31st of 2009. Check it out if you have the chance!
