This brightly colored insect congers memories of a time and place where magic reigned. The children can climb through the sculptures head, tail and belly. While climbing up the back of the gentle giant, the kids can safely walk the length of it’s body. Its scale and proportion relative to the size of the existing trees create a wonderful distortion of visual reality.
