Sapphire Star
A piece from Dale Chihuly’s first major garden exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere. At the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
This is Sapphire Star, produced in 2010.
Made of hand-blown glass, I learned that the individual pieces are then assembled to form the large, spherical structure.
Each frond is individually placed on the sphere every time it is installed.

Measuring 2.8 m x 2.8 m.
