Chihuly G inger Plum Seaform
Chihuly's Seaform series consists of ribbed forms displayed
in graceful ensembles that appear complex yet naturally
elegant. “W e are using gravity, centrifugal force, the heat,
the fire, all of these different elements, and in many ways
we are not totally in control. It's letting the glass also make
the form," explains Chihuly regarding the principles of his
glass-blowing process, as found especially in his Seaform
series.
G inger Plum Seaform is composed of two elements, one
precariously embracing the other to set off a constellation
of white, green, blue, and red colored spots scattered
across their purple exteriors. Each piece features a double
body wrap with an amber-colored interior and is accented
with a delicate teal lip wrap.
This 2009 Portland Press Studio Edition measures
approximately eleven inches across, with Chihuly's
signature engraved on the smaller piece. The piece also
comes with a Plexiglas vitrine and a copy of Chihuly
Seaforms.
