Giant Solar Luminaries Highlight a Community’s History

Chicago artist Philip Hartigan created these giant luminaries for a public art project in northwestern Illinois. The luminaries are made out of elm from a local sustainable tree farm, and illuminated at night by solar lights fitted into the lids. Photos and written memoirs from residents of Carroll County, IL, were printed on the side panels of the luminaries, creating a monument to the community with a minimal environmental impact.
