Chihuly Macchia

Using the Italian word for “spotted”, the Macchia series is a return to Chihuly’s recurring interest in the possibilities of color in glass sculpture. In discussing the impetus for this series, Chihuly said that its inception came from his desire to “use all 300 of the colors in the hotshop.” From this impulse, Chihuly designed works which test the variations of expression available in an expansive color field.
