The Persian Ceiling by Chihuly

The Persian Ceiling by Chihuly                               

MONTREAL - A veritable garden of glass has bloomed within the walls of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

It's the first major Canadian museum show by landmark American artist Dale Chihuly, who has brought his unique glass creations to the downtown Montreal location until Oct. 20. One part of the exhibition is the Persian Ceiling one of Chihuly’s most popular works. It consists of various series of works in a multitude of shapes, forms, and vivid colors arranged in layers over plates of transparent glass. Subtly lit, the Ceiling creates a kaleidoscopic effect of infinite repetition, suggesting the magical space of a Persian carpet.

Here are some Photos and his artist statement
