Another fragment of a glass sculpture. Really love the textures and shapes in this one. Kara looked up Dale Chihuly on Google on our way home. Interesting that he is about 70. A long time ago, he was involved in an car accident and thrown through the windshield. His face was badly cut and he was blinded in one eye. He continued to blow glass after that, until his shoulder was injured in a sports accident. He cannot work the glass anymore because he can't hold it. He said it had given him a unique opportunity to stand back and view pieces from a different perspective. He describes his role now as the "director, rather than the actor...the choreographer, rather than the dancer." I love that. Clearly, still a very creative individual!
