Kuksi, Sahibdin, and Dellschau are shoo-ins. The other two vying for my nomination are Chihuly and Haeckel, so it's interesting to see them both drawing inspiration from the same crazy natural forms. Offer me a work from either for my living room, and I'd choose the Haeckel in a heartbest. But Haeckel's greatest achievements were really in the realm of science, whereas Chihuly's are more purely in the realm of...well, marketing, it seems to me, to a great extent. So, hey, I'm going with Haeckel!mrs.5000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-9946586814649226432012-07-22T08:22:03.475-07:002012-07-22T08:22:03.475-07:00Haeckel, Kuksi, Sahibdin, DellschauHaeckel, Kuksi, Sahibdin, DellschauNichimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359298496725231902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-46688566434019899322012-07-22T01:08:17.977-07:002012-07-22T01:08:17.977-07:00Viola, Kuski, Haeckel, and Chihuly.
