Chihuly Collection Special Exhibition
On view: June 29 – September 15

Special Exhibition entry is included with your admission to the Chihuly Collection.
Tim Soluna and Anjali Singh, two local glass artists, met several years ago at the University of Illinois, Carbondale. Now work partners and life partners, both can be found at the Morean Glass Studio where Tim works as Studio Manager and Anjali teaches Advanced Independent Studies.

Although their bodies of work are created separately in the Studio, both have a love for pattern and color. Anjali’s murrini vessels mimic Indian matkas, traditional pottery vessels that Indian women would balance on their heads to carry water. The patterns on her work are both a nod to Indian textile patterns as well as the movement and color of water.

Tim’s platters and vessels are created using a method called reticello, a type of blown glass made with canes organized in a crisscross pattern to form a fine net, which may contain tiny air traps. He has developed a double “flower” in his latest body of work, which he dubbed “Infinicello” because of its similarity to the infinity symbol.
