I am always a little ambivalent about shooting someone else’s art. It’s like trying to make art out of art, and that seems a little like cheating. On the other hand, capturing art and doing it any kind of justice is not easy. The better the art, the more difficult it is to capture it in a way that conveys what the artist was saying, but the more worthy of the effort it seems.

Dale Chihuly is a glass artist of Seattle, Washington. He is possibly the most well-recognized glass artist in the world at this time. He has had installations all over the world, and does work unlike any other that I am aware of. This year he put up multiple installations at the Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. His work is incredible. Seen in the house, in the conservatory, and in the gardens, all are lit so that they can be viewed at night as well as during the day. I was able to so both during a recent visit to the Biltmore. It was incredible. I have seen a few of his pieces before, but never so much of it in one place. I am aware of how far short the photographs come to capturing the power of the work itself, but did have to try. Here is one of those efforts. This is a boat filled with an awesome array of shapes and colors captured in glass, floating in a lily pond, and reflected in water.
