subtle revolution

"There are two kinds of revolutionists, as of most things- a good kind and a bad. The bad revolutionists destroy conventions by appealing to fads- fashions that are newer than conventions. The good do it by appealing to facts that are older than conventions." (G.K. Chesterton)

Indianapolis Children's Museum

Last weekend I went with my nieces to the Children's Museum in Indy. I must admit that the museuem was a blast. The girls had a ton of fun and I enjoyed every bit of it as well. I was deligthed to see the special display of blown glass artwork. Most of the glass was the work of Dale Chihuly whom I greatly admire as an artist. The display featured a tower strecthing up story after story. Quite an impressive sight. Beneath the tower was a display considered to be firework of glass. A variety of blown glass forms were encased within clear ceiling panels and illuminated from above. There was a rotating round bench beneath that permitted spectators to recline and take in the view. Breathtaking... no doubt about it.
Here are some shots that I took of the artwork on display. If you find yourself in Indy... check out the exhibit.
