Sarah Hall and Renewable Energy Sculpture

Sarah Hall

I am all for "green energy."  Using the sun, wind, and water to create electricity is a great benefit to our world.  Recently artists have jumped on the band wagon and have made beautiful art that also helps the planet.  According to Wikipedia, "A renewable energy sculpture is a sculpture that produces power from renewable sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric or tidal.
Such a sculpture is functionally both a renewable energy generator and an artwork, fulfilling utilitarian, aesthetic, and cultural functions."  Sarah Hall is a glass artist (see picture) that incorporates solar cells in her stained glass that provides electricity for the building.  Her use of sunlight to display her beautiful stained glass and help the environment is a forward thinking way of using art.  Enjoy!
