Dale Chihuly is about teamwork. Pushing past common notions of studio glass being a one man project, Chihuly uses a team and divided labor to create his masterpieces, and with such a team, projects can be larger and grander then one man could preform.

The Bridge of Glass

The Bridge of Glass in Tacoma Washington leads to the Museum of Glass. The bridge is a a 500-foot-long pedestrian overpass that takes pedestrians through a tunnel of brilliant light and color created by Chihuly's glass forms.

"The bridge is the gateway that welcomes people to Tacoma. We wanted something unique in the world, something that is full of color and offers a joyous experience to passersby both night and day."
-Dale Chihuly

    I really love his stuff, how he plays with color and scale. I saw a big tall yellow one at the Corning Museum of Glass. Also i've see two television shows that featured his work . There's one in the newly remodeled Eastman concert hall (between the old building and the new.

    The grace of his forms and the intensity of his colors are unmatched. Probably my favorite sculptor.
