The Giant Dandelions are situated at the Southern end of Taralga village on Orchard Street and within the 50km speed limit for traffic travelling through the town.
Al’s Dandelion series ‘stand tall in the landscape and seem to gently move in the breeze as they are scattered by the wind.’ This series tells a story that we all relate to. Picking and blowing dandelions (‘Wishes’), is something that we have done, and continue to see children do today. It allows us to remember and share our own history with a touch of wonder.
Al takes hard, steel forms and imbues them with a sense of gentleness and movement to float and move in the breeze.
The Streets R Shared project is a partnership between Upper Lachlan Council and STA to revitalise public spaces in Upper Lachlan with funding through the Shared Spaces programme, a NSW Government initiative.
