Bloomed: Dandelion

2016
Taraxacum

The recognisable dandelion is home to all parts of the Northern Hemisphere, commonly found in pastures, meadows and farmland. The plant is the only flower that represents the three celestial bodies of the sun, moon and stars. Blooming in the early summer months, the bright yellow flower resembles the sun, with the puff ball representing the moon, and finally, the dispersing seeds depicting the sprinkling of stars.

The dandelion is presented in an interaction-led life cycle, portraying the highly visual growth from a young bud to a flower. Following the closure of the bud, the seed 'clock' appears. Each stage is a reaction to the movement of the viewer before the piece, with the final stunning flight of seeds a direct response to the observer's wave. Just like in real-life, the flower will regerminate, creating a perpetually shifting representation of the common, yet fascinating, dandelion.
