Thursday Thoughts – Seen in Seattle

I had some fun double exposing in Seattle too. With Chihuly, colours cannot go wrong!

I loved the long walk with chandeliers leading out to

the pavillion, where preparations for a big party had just started.

But, the floor was mine for a short minute. I was truly grateful.

Thursday Thoughts – Chihuly II

I hope you are prepared for more? Here we go, with his magical pavillion and garden in Seattle.

His chandeliers are glorious. We also enjoyed seeing the film on how he and his team works, and how they manage to transport his art for new exhibitions all over the world. Those magical chandeliers made me almost hear Sia Furler’s Chandelier (her great hit from 2014) dancing through the room.

The garden during daylight is of course not the same as the brightly lit night garden. But, that was the only option for us.

And his art speaks for itself. We had a much longed for visit – and we were not disappointed. It matched all our dreams.

Thursday Thoughts – Finally, Chihuly

Many of you have featured works of Dale Chihuly, and I have longed to see them with my own eyes. In Seattle I finally did. So, I guess he needs no introduction – just enjoy!

Starting with the ceiling:

Floor – Ikebana boat and Niijima Floats.

Both his own boats.

Glorious displays everywhere in the rooms.

Next week I will post some more, chandeliers, from his pavillion and from the garden too. He is an extraordinary artist. They showed a movie on his life, work and exhibitions. I needed that to understand how spontaneous his ideas come up, and how it is possible to transport these enormous glassworks all over the world.
