It’s easy to imagine the breeze catching this dandelion, launching hundreds of tiny seeds into the wind.

Sculpted by two local artists as part of the Shire of Augusta Margaret River’s Plinth program which created artworks to be displayed in parklands throughout the shire.

It was conceived to provide a series of strong formal vertical lines and organic shapes to complement the local environment. The sculptures reference a signifier, balloons, alliums and dandelions in an abstract way. These were chosen as symbols of a gathering point, of celebration, of the joy of gardening and food growing, of survival and even of magic.

The work consists of three elements of varying sizes placed in a group. Each puff ball is slightly different and the poles are bent to add to the naturalistic feel of the dandelions.
