Neon Tumbleweed
"Talk about a form of light - neon is light itself.
But, of course, neon couldn't exist without glass."
Dale Chihuly

"In Finland we started making these long, cylindrical pieces, which looked like spears. This was an exciting new form. It was the first time we ever made anything like that. They can be taken anywhere - they can go outside. They are very strong pieces, and they are very dramatic." - Dale Chihuly
