Sequence of the Chihuly Wall of Ice melting. The first day, the blocks were a pristine and geometric
3 feet deep by 6 feet wide by 4 feet tall, and they
fused together into a monolithic wall. As time wore
on and the desert sun drilled into the ice, melt
holes began to form and the wall came alive with
flows of water over the surfaces of the blocks: the
individual blocks were reasserting their identities!
The wall went up Saturday night and early Sunday
morning; by Tuesday morning the first block of the
top row had hit the ground, and around ten am this
morning (Tuesday, October 5) the entire left side of
row two crashed forward. Now, each passing hour
accelerates the fate of the wall.
