Gaylord Opryland’s Resurgenge

When I saw this glass sculpture, I immediately assumed it was the work of the famed glass artist Chihuly. But unlike another blogger, who will remain nameless to protect the guilty, I double-checked and discovered it wasn’t.
The piece is called resurgence and was installed as part of Gaylord Opryland Resort’s restoration after the huge complex was flooded, along with much of Nashville, in May of 2010.
Opryland’s press releases say the piece was made in Sweden but didn’t mention the artist, or perhaps artists.
I thought the piece was fantastic, especially the way light reflected of it. Don’t you?

Is it not interesting how great the variety of interpretations of “reflections” manifests itself in Blogland.
I find it fascinating but not surprising. I’ve taken art classes where everyone paints the same subject and yet no two pieces look alike.
