Introducing our Electric Dandelions: magnificent sculptures crafted from sturdy steel, translucent polycarbonate, and vibrant LEDs. By day, these towering structures captivate with their representation of a dandelion in full bloom. However, as the sun sets, they transform into a breathtaking spectacle—an ever-changing fireworks display that enchants the night.

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.

The inspiration behind this installation began with my desire to repurpose materials from a previous artwork, The Sea Urchin, which featured 80 custom light tubes and electronic components. One of the biggest challenges with that project was keeping the light elements elevated—at ground level, they were constantly pushed to their physical limits by interaction. I started thinking: how could I lift the light safely while creating something visually striking and immersive?

That’s when the idea of creating “endless fireworks” came to me—something I’d never seen done before at places like Burning Man. I envisioned light exploding upward and outward in a captivating, cyclical display. To achieve this, I needed a central structure that was both strong and beautiful. My love for geometric forms led me to the geodesic dome—a shape I had considered for The Sea Urchin but didn’t use at the time.

With this new approach, I was able to breathe new life into the original materials by transforming them into three sculptural “Dandelions,” each one reimagining light, structure, and sustainability in a poetic form.
