Reflection on Chihuly

Chihuly and his atelier of assistant glass-blowing artists have achieved universally accessible art. A walk through his exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is markedly different from a typical gallery opening: EVERYONE looks at the art. Granted, the MFA does not tempt one's attention with wine, cheese and grapes; but still -- the experience of this exhibit is completely collective and completely individual. See, here:

Our first eyefull of blown glass drew
murmurs of astonishment and
satisfaction from everyone.
Here is Roy taking it all in. See his
collection on his Facebook page.

A pillar of fire by night . . .
. . . held these people spellbound.




      
This chandelier is not the pinata
it appears in this optical illusion.

 I left the exhibit feeling uplifted and satisfied. Blessing, gratitude, and joy!
