We were awed yesterday on our way through El Paso, Texas yesterday when we drove through this dynamic piece that frames the I-10 corridor near the airport. It was that perfect time of day when the lighting was set off against a deep blue sky. The vertical axis wind turbines with overlapping blades in perspective provides a complicated visual moir\u00e9 effect that reveals its secret as you pass through the installation.<\/p>\n

It is very likely that this artwork generates more electricity than it requires to light itself, although that is not a figure that is cited in the articles that we could find online about the piece.<\/p>\n

The artist, Vicki Scuri, says that she was inspired by aeronautical forms and by the shape of desert plants. <\/p>\n

Below is our guess regarding the desert plant she’s referring to. It is ubiquitous in that part of the southwest and it’s really beautiful.<\/p>\n
