Revisiting Chihuly

I was reminded recently that I have many photos I took of the Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle when I was there some years back. And I was hungry for color after many days of smoke filled skies.

The Chihuly is located in the Seattle Center, steps from other iconic attractions. There are indoor exhibits like I’ve shown in the first photo and an outdoor garden where glass sculptures are mixed with plants, shrubs and trees.

Seattle’s iconic Space Needle towers over the garden.

Indoors and out there is a vast array of Chihuly glass art.

Masks

There is a tall, dead tree trunk standing near the waterfront in Port Angeles called “Masks.” It’s adorned with masks by six different artists. This one is metal.

Others are clay.

The artistic styles are varied but all are interesting.

This is how the piece looks at a distance. The artists named on the plaque at the base are Gail McLain, Karl Stokee, Barbara Boerigter, Kathleen Meyer, Gene Davis, and Michael Kenney.
