Well, after much deliberation, I have decided to try out this blogging thing and simply put here whatever interests me and makes me happy. I have been making lists and writing down things that make me happy since I was in high school. Heck, I even made it into a book - not one that got published, but rather just one years collection of some of my favorite things. So as my first forray into blogging, I thought I would just write about whatever strikes me as interesting - a good movie I watched, a book that made me think, people who are wonderful or inspiring.
Today it is Chihuly.
Dale Chihuly.A genius of art. I was first introduced to Chihuly by my amazing mom. There was a display of his art at a downtown musuem and from that moment on - I have been transfixed. I never knew you could create such things out of glass.
He even suspended his artwork off of the canal bridges in Venice, Italy.
They are vibrant, and delicate, and bold in color. And because they are made of glass, they are unique. Sadly, there isn't a gallery that displays his works in Utah, but if you ever get the chance to see his work - jump on it. You won't be disappointed. At the very least, check out his website - www.chihuly.com. Oh, and did I mention that he works with flaming hot balls of glass with one eye? No depth perception and yet he makes things that are incredibly deep.
Anyway, that's todays wonder. Since I am new to things, who knows what will show up on here next, but at the very least, this is my optimistic proclamation for now.
