Electroluminescent Tree by Ian Hobson

Electroluminescent wire (or EL wire, as we like to call it on the streets) is a thin copper wire coated in a phosphor that gets all glow-y when a current runs through it. Ian, another great bearer of the name, wound several meters worth of EL wire around an actual tree branch to create this elven-like sculpture… way better than Christmas Tree.
