Footnote
Chihuly often calls his Baskets the most inventive work he has done. Experimenting with centrifugal forces, gravity and the use of fire, he discovered new methods of creating these asymmetrical vessels with fine undulating walls, grouping them in sets with the smaller works nestled within a larger open mouthed form.
