Chihuly at the DeYoung: Keep Your Eyes Inside Their Sockets at all Times

Did I mention that we went to the Chihuly exhibit last weekend?  No?  Tough noogies, you get photos anyway.  It was a fascinating and gorgeous show, and afterwards Helena and I spent some time discussing the essential nature of art.  I’m pretty sure that wasn’t what Chihuly had in mind for us but it was fun anyway.  Plus, we got to see crap like this:

And just to show ya I’m not a total dilettante, we also saw:

- these freaky kenyan heads, and

- this rococo carriage made entirely out of sugar.  Later that night I served up a delicious chili, or “chilihuly,” the recipe for which I will take to my grave.  It was a fine day at the museum.  Glad you could make it for a bit of the fun. 

Wow. That blown glass art is GORGEOUS.

As a huge Chihuly fan, I was going to see the exhibit when I was in town for Dave Francisco next month. But now I’m having to postpone until October and will miss it completely. I’m positively gutted, because I’ve love the other Chihuly exhibits I’ve seen. :-(
