Chris Ahalt is a flame worker and has been perfecting his art since 1998. He apprenticed with Italian master, Cesare Toffolo, in Venice, Italy where he learned the traditional techniques of high quality Venetian glassmaking. Most recently, he has garnered much press and admiration for his current Balloon Animal series, hollow glass animals balanced and strung up on copper wire to give the illusion that they are floating. They are deceptively effortless but demonstrate his brilliant design.

Lit! underscores the transition of perception of marijuana use from marginal to mainstream, undistinguished to dignified. It aims to act as a survey of marijuana’s role in American art by highlighting its place among other significant Americana and contemporary art. As such, Renaissance style paintings with modern subject matter bridge the gap from old to new while pipes traditionally used for smoking are elevated to elegant sculptures.
