Dale Chihuly is world-famous as an artist. The Benvenuto Cellini of blown glass, his mysterious and compelling aquatic forms have mesmerized art lovers on all continents. But these photographs of unearthly beauty from Shelley Powers provide shocking proof that he hides a terrible secret.
Does Dale Chihuly Worship the Great Old Ones?
In the guise of a foul-tempered, eyepatched, befrizzed and corpulent artiste, Dale Chihuly walks among us. Or is that hops? Could this all be an elaborate disguise? Could that vast body conceal the chitinous shell of the Fungi from Yuggoth? Perhaps when he moves he shows traces of the odd hopping gait of the Deep Ones. Then again; perhaps this is all perfectly normal…
Could his art really be a complex plan to seduce the will of the free peoples of the world and bend them to the will of the slavering god Cthulhu?
Gaze upon his creations and resist…if you can. For how many have heard, and responded to, The Call of Chihuly?

When I saw Chihuly's work in Miami a few days ago, I had the impression that actually, he's not an artist but someone who simply imports plants from another planet!
In any case, the combination of the lush Florida green with these outlandish objects is something very special, – a pity that I missed the Chihuly night!

Thanks! Very nice photos, too. There’s one Chihuly on public display here in Vancouver, and I deliberately go two blocks out of my way to see it, particularly at night.
