WELL THAT'S JUST DANDY

by Joe and Terry Malesky
ARTIST STATEMENT
A weed or a flower? We created “Well That’s Just Dandy” for Bella Vista based on our universally loved “Dandelion Puff Ball” sculpture. The dandelion is one of the most recognized plants in the world. It is a plant of survival, which aligns perfectly with the strength and endurance of the steel this sculpture is created with. For all of its strength, once the dandelion has that irresistible white puff ball, it becomes very vulnerable to playful children who pluck it up and joyfully laugh as they blow the seeds into the wind. JOY HAS NOW BEEN SPREAD and the dandelion lives on!
