Chihuly - A Galaxy of Glass

             Dale Chihuly’s Garden and Glass museum in Seattle showcases gigantic, fantastical glass sculptures.   Words that come to mind are: imaginative, visionary, aquatic, vitrified, glass, smash, bash, baseball bat (I just want to hear a sculpture drop).  In the museum theater, there’s a video featuring an outdoor exhibition that Chihuly put on in 2000 in Jerusalem.  Over a million people visited the exhibition then, and they all got along just fine.  Chihuly mentions how he feels that people, regardless of their religious beliefs, need art in their lives.  He’s right.  Like many human habits, art is a unifying force, and can help our species see past our cultural differences and possibly save us from destroying ourselves (which would be more of a post-modern expressionist thing).
