Dahlias Artwork
Seven oversized dahlias bloom in the central city.
The LED-lit Dahlias lighting installation will sit opposite the Bus Interchange and the entertainment complex EntX.
Reaching up to six metres tall, the work is the brainchild of designers Andrew Veitch and Bevan Whiting from Sydenham-based sustainable lighting and furniture creator Frontal Lobe.
“One of the most beautiful spaces in our city is the dahlia beds in our Botanic Gardens,” they say.
“When they are in full bloom, they announce the arrival of summer and the fragrance of the neighbouring roses sweetens the air.”
Both designers believe that “artistic expressions are critical in giving a city soul”.
