With this I disagree. For the video interview, I watched the clip titled Chihuly Garden Cycle. In the video Chihuly discusses setting up the Garfield Park Conservatorium in Chicago. He describes this as “one of the most thrilling exhibitions he has ever installed”. This highlights the sense of marvel and discovery that he felt from this exhibition.

Each of these aspects demonstrate how it is more than just the basket series where the traits generally described as an abstract, expressive formal language are
