Chihuly - Season 1 Episode 3 Chihuly River Of Glass
Biomorphic glass forms floating down a Finnish river, transparent green and amethyst spears leaning against ancient Irish dolmens, exotic iridescent blossoms blooming in a Mexican factory, and an extravaganza of faceted crystal reaching upward in the Doges Palace in Venice are all part of the Chihuly Over Venice project chronicled in River of Glass. The 90-minute video tape begins with the first blowing session in Nuutäjarvi, Finland, and follows Chihuly and his team to Waterford, Irelenad; Monterrey, Mexico; and finally to Venice. The beauty of the glass works installed in each venue is sensitively and evocatively documented by Michael Barnard as directory, chief photographer, and editor. Through interviews with the artist and many of those involved with this project, River of Glass reveals Chihuly's creative process as he draws, directs, and demands the best of his team.
