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.

 

Dale Chihuly, born September 20, 1941 is an American glass artist and entrepreneur.

 

Measuring 2.8 m x 2.8 m.
