[PHOTO] Fourteen photos of #chihulyto, Royal Ontario Museum

The Royal Ontario Museum's exhibition of Dale Chihuly's glasswork ended yesterday. Last Friday, I went to see it. I was impressed by the technical skill involved in these works, the larger assemblies of work were wonderfully evocative of alien forests. Individual pieces left me a bit cold: Yes, they were technically impressive, but what were they communicating? What were they trying to communicate?

This is a good argument for me to revisit the National Gallery as time permits over the next few weeks. Because I have no idea what new surprises are on exhibit there...
