Studio Edition: Mojave Macchia

The 2023 Mojave Macchia Studio Edition is a classic example of the driving force behind Chihuly’s original vision for the Macchia: “unbelievable combinations of color.” A constellation of multicolored speckles emblazes the rich violet exterior of the sculpture, while an oxblood red body wrap provides faint yet profound contrast and depth. Glass and color, stretched thin by heat, breath, and centrifugal force, create glimmers of illumination from the brilliant marigold interior, and the form’s organic undulations are defined by the moss green lip wrap.
