Dale Chihuly has a reputation for creating stunning art by manipulating the mesmeric beauty and aesthetic of glass.
On Monday, The Society of the Four Arts unveiled installations of two of his works Black and Yellow Herons and Red Bulbous Reeds from his Fiori (Italian for flowers) series, which will be on view at the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden through May 2.
Although many of Chihuly s fans know him as a glass artist, his artistic career started with weaving as a primary medium.
He told the Daily News it was the beauty and power of stained-glass windows he encountered during his travels during the 1960s that moved him to start incorporating glass shards into woven tapestries while in college at the University of Washington in 1963.
