The amazing art of Dale Chihuly

It has been one heck of an exhausting fortnight and time has been limited and my motivation low. Apart from work and a possible change on that front, there have been some unexpected things to deal with that are proving tough to endure. So, instead of my usual ramblings, I’m just going to post photos of Dale Chihuly’s amazing sculptures – currently installed in our Botanic Gardens.

Sapphire Star, 2010 by Dale Chihuly – Nikon D40

It looks like glass but the sculptures are composed of a specially formulated polymer called Polyvitro. The material is robust enough to be outdoors in the weather and reflects the light beautifully. We thought it was glass at first!
