Here’s our second Dee Dee Morrison project (what can we say? We love her work.), this one in Clearwater, Fla. From our friends over at Inhabitat.com:

A new solar-powered Sun-Catcher lighting installation recently popped up in Clearwater, Fla., where it brightens the night using energy from the sun. Part of the city’s Sculpture360 program, the 15-foot-tall Sun-Catcher was made by Deedee Morrison’s studio. It’s built from recycled aluminum and striking yellow lucite panels. An integrated solar panel captures the sun’s energy during daylight hours and lights up the sculpture — and downtown Clearwater — at night.

We just think it’s cool.

    This is beautiful art, but it is shame that it is just art! The whole array looks almost completely shaded and judging by the tall trees and building in the background it will see shade most of the day. It would be even more beautiful if it were functional.
