CHIHULY SHORT CUTS II

Energy has always been the driving force behind the work of the artist Dale Chihuly. It is a force that is visually recognizable both in his grand-scale installations and in the innovative and evolving forms found throughout his series of works. Chihuly Short Cuts II explores the process behind the art of Chihuly through ten short films covering nearly a decade’s worth of achievements and an in-depth look at his work on paper. What emerges from Chihuly Short Cuts II is a portrait of an artist with an unbound creative capacity tirelessly pushing the boundaries of what his medium can express and creating works of art that transcend the imagination.
