Dragonfly Lake
At Dragonfly Lake, two vibrant public installations that float upon the water brings life to the scenic site.
Float Boat, Chihuly’s 2014 creation that’s part of his unique
Boats collection, is a colourful mixture of glass forms that are scattered and spilling out of the actual boat. Chihuly first chanced upon this concept in Nuutajärvi, Finland. After tossing his newly-created glass pieces into the river as a test, the spherical pieces began floating downstream and were collected by local teenagers in wooden boats. The experience inspired the glassblower to recreate the look and has remained a firm concept in Chihuly’s exhibits ever since.
