By 1994 the Hilltop neighborhood in Tacoma was one of the most troubled areas on the West Coast. Chihuly, a Tacoma native, co-founded Hilltop Artists and partnered with Tacoma Public Schools with the goal of providing youth with alternatives to street violence. A full-size hot shop program was added to Jason Lee Middle School where he created quite a few splatter paintings during his three-week residency in 1995; the present lot was gifted to students and teachers.
