A Wonderland Through the Looking Glass: The Art of Dale Chihuly

Submitted by Elaine Magliaro, Guest Blogger

While Jonathan is off gallivanting around in France for a few weeks, he’s left us guest bloggers to do the majority of postings here at the Turley blog. While I’ve remained stateside, I did have an opportunity earlier today to travel to a beautiful otherworld–one created in the imagination of glass artist Dale Chihuly. Chihuly’s “Through the Looking Glass” exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is breathtaking! Fortunately, I was able to take pictures without a flash. Maybe you’d like to come along on a tour of his glass art exhibit.

    Pardon my obtuseness (obtusity?)- I just now got your “Carnival Glass” joke and I can’t stop laughing. It only took four hours and twelve minutes- a new record in the annals of brain fade.

    if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison
    us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not
    revenge?”

  3. Pete-

    The proper term is “short arm”. I think you’re mistaken about Dr. John Doe performing Bobbit’s surgery. I believe it was actually the medical team of Dr. Seymour Peters and Dr. “Tiny” Johnson.
