Hard to imagine that the “Jeweled Macchia” began as a clear glass bubble, isn’t it? The bubble was heated and shaped, with layer upon layer of colored glass chips (frit) applied and blown out to its final form—each color eclipsing the next to produce rich depth and dimension. The result is a sculpture that appears to glow with internal luminosity.
One “Macchia” invites a closer look. A forest of them changes the conversation entirely. At “Chihuly Garden and Glass,” the “Macchia Forest” transforms individual sculptures into an immersive field of color, form, and light.
