Have you ever stumbled upon a piece of art that made you want to climb, sit, and play? Right here in the City of Darebin, amidst the Ray Bramham Gardens, stand the Three Follies. These aren’t your typical sculptures. Imagine three structures, crafted from recycled brick, inviting you to become a part of the art itself. The Three Follies Installation was completed in 2014 by Bush Projects. They were tasked with creating a landmark visible from the street, something to draw people into this botanical oasis.
The result is a playful trio of structures that serve multiple purposes. Need a rest after a stroll through the gardens? The flat tops of the Follies offer a space for a picnic or just a moment of quiet contemplation. Feeling a bit more energetic? The low-slung forms beckon you to climb, balance, and explore. The Three Follies Installation isn’t just about admiring art. It’s about engaging with it, becoming a part of the landscape, and creating a connection with this beautiful park.
