Starlight Faerie (Refreshments - Ice), London

Today was a very grey day with not a hint of sunshine but I thought I'd better get out at lunchtime or I would never have seen much daylight at all. This installation stands on the corner of South Molton Street and Oxford Street. It's lit up in the evening but, during the day that is not the case but I still though it looked dramatic against the cloudy sky. Here's what I 've found out about it from t'internet:

On the corner of London’s Oxford Street and South Molton Street, passers by can now pause and contemplate the beauty of everyday resources, transformed by local artists into an interactive piece of public art: the ‘Starlight Faerie’.
Delivered in partnership between Veolia and New West End Company, the sculpture will also act as a donation point where visitors to the district can seamlessly tap to donate directly to children’s charity, Starlight.
Standing at 3 metres tall, she has been created using waste materials recovered from across Westminster, with the aim of encouraging passersby to think about the entire lifecycle of the everyday materials they use. Donations came from across the district; tealights from Westminster Abbey have been given new life as the faerie’s corset, whilst a mannequin from a busy Oxford Street store has been transformed into the faerie herself.
She is adorned by stars, from her attire to the tip of her wand. These stars represent Starlight, the official charity partner of Oxford Street this Christmas. The charity supports children in hospital to experience the power of play, boosting their wellbeing and resilience throughout treatment, care and recovery from illness. This year, members of the public are able to sponsor a star on the iconic Oxford Street installation, or donate directly to the charity via the tap and donate function integrated into the faerie installation. Every donation will help make a child’s stay in hospital over Christmas brighter through play.
The ‘Starlight Faerie’ was created by artists Julie Beech and Danil Ripnar, both recent Westminster University graduates who have a history of collaboration on similar projects which leverage their shared passion for 3D form, storytelling and finding innovative ways to recycle materials and reduce waste. Beech has worked with Veolia previously to source materials for her ‘Beautiful Beast’ sculptures exhibited in the Saatchi Gallery, London.
