4. Seed-Pod, Chattanooga, Tenn.
Birmingham, Ala. artist Dee Dee Morrison is quickly becoming one of our favorites. Listen to her describe her own work: “As a sculptor and installation artist, my work has been influenced by my interest in biological forms and light; coupled with the interest in the natural world is a fascination for technical and scientific advances. As a result, a unique style has evolved to reflect my understanding of the natural world by using heavy industrial metals, laser jet cutting methods and organically inspired designs to create solar powered sustainable sculptures.” How cool is that?
Morrison’s sculpture is an artistic representation of a seed pod coming out of a dormant state to form new life. But it’s more than just a display of nature’s beauty. Seed-Pod is also a visual display of the power and energy that’s available every day in the sun’s warming rays.
(SPOILER ALERT: You’ll see another of Dee Dee’s works later.)

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.
