About the Work
The Electric Dandelions
Standing proudly at 28 feet, these light sculptures boast a captivating and refined lighting design. Their distinctive spherical form is the result of a meticulously crafted geodesic sphere nestled at the core of each Dandelion. From its vertices, forty-one luminous tubes extend, forming a spectacular 15-foot diameter flower. When darkness falls, the geometric wonders truly come alive. The LED animations come to the forefront, casting a spell with their brilliant and dynamic fireworks, ensuring a mesmerizing experience that lasts throughout the night.
Originally unveiled at Burning Man in 2016, the Electric Dandelions have graced light festivals, winter celebrations, and music festivals worldwide. Their presence has illuminated events such as Illuminate Adelaide in Australia, Firefly Music Festival in Delaware, and the River of Light winter festival in Liverpool. Join us and experience the magic of these extraordinary sculptures that transcend the boundaries between art and illumination.
