Mohegan Sun glass sculpture close up

close up of a huge glass sculpture that is located in the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. The following is info taken from a web document discussing the in-depth process taken to create the Mohegan Sun Casinos: This excerpt is about this sculpture: "River Blue Mohegan Sun commissioned a towering glass sculpture by world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly. Titled “River Blue,” the 10,000-pound masterpiece was created by combining extraordinary artistry with architectural skill. Thousands of richly colored glass components, 2,500 in all, were hand-blown by a team of artisans in Seattle, then fully assembled on-site at Mohegan Sun. The distinctive cobalt blue, silver and clear colored glass sculpture, measuring fourteen feet in width, soars twenty-five feet above visitors, creating a spectacular centerpiece."

WOW AMY! WHAT AN AMAZING CASINO THIS HAS TO BE. VERY OUTSTANDING AND ABSTRACT PHOTO.

Artist Reply: thanks so much for the compliment. I LOVE this particular casino- in fact I really go there more for the atmosphere than for the gambling (and they also have a lot of concerts there too).
