Glass House Sculpture and the Sun

Chilhuly Garden and Glass Museum
Seattle, WA

The Glass House Sculpture is a 100-foot long sculpture in a color palette of reds, oranges, yellows and amber. The individual parts of this sculpture are referred to as Persians. Made of many individual Persians it is one of Chiluly's largest suspended sculptures.

'The Persians started out as a search for new forms. I set up Martin Blank and Robbie Miller in a corner of the hotshop at Pilchuck. I would make large pencil drawings for them with a couple of dozen small forms, and then I would put an X under the ones I wanted them to go for. Over the next year, we made more than 1,000 miniature experimental forms.'
