'Blue Topaz Seaform' Studio Edition, 2024 by Dale Chihuly

Every year, Chihuly creates new Studio Editions, representing Chihuly’s most distinctive series. As every piece is handblown, your artwork may vary slightly in size, colour, and shape. Small blemishes or imperfections in the glass are part of the glass blowing process and add to the individual characteristics of each piece. Dale Chihuly began developing his 'Seaforms' in 1980, utilizing the elemental forces of heat, gravity, and centrifugal force to create gracefully poised and abstract marine-like sculptures. The 2024 'Blue Topaz Seaform' Studio Edition reveals the glass medium’s ability to emit colour and light. The cool sky-blue outer edges of this two-piece composition gently stretch and fade into a counterbalancing interior of warm, radiant amber. A raised body wrap contributes texturally, while a black lip wrap emphasizes the composition’s sculptural form.
