Chihuly creates amazing sculpture out of glass, he writes so passionatly about each piece that without even seeing his work one can find themself inspired by his enthousiastic nature. The majority of his work has been in America, however the Kew Botanical Gardens is now the home of some of these fabulous sculptures. I remember about two years ago when I first came across Chilhuly, being mesmorised by his orgainic glass structures, they somehow blend into their surroundings whilst standing out at the same time. I watched a documentary about how he makes and transports his work, this alone seems to be a remarkable feat, as few of his pieces are regular shapes that can be packed into boxes! The colours, forms, positioning and even shadows created by Chilhuly are inspiration for all in the art and design world.
