2017 Vivid Sydney: Waratah #1
Waratah
Artists: Sarah Harvie (Australia) / Dylan Tonkin (Australia) / Christopher Page (Australia) /
Anthony Zeater (Australia)
Waratah is a unique tribute to an iconic flowering plant. The majestic waratah is native to Australia and is the floral emblem of the state of New South Wales: it is difficult to cultivate and slow to mature, but flowers riotously in its native bushland setting.
To honour this extraordinary plant, the artists have created a huge inflatable light sculpture, rich in colour and beautiful by day; at night it opens out to give visitors a larger-than-life experience of the aesthetics of this magnificent bloom.
