The sound barrier over the CityLink tollway in Melbourne. You are not allowed to stop on this road so I’ve had to take this shot as my partner drove slowly down thru the tunnel/sound barrier.

The sculpture is: / ‘Public Art Strategy” / Description / Fabricated steel, 19 / metres long, 13 metres / high and 7.5 metres / wide at the wing span. / Location / Adjacent to southbound / carriageway, between / Cheltenham Road and / Dandenong Bypass. / “…A story about pl ace and identity.” / “The often controversial nature of public art is my inspiration. Situated in Greater / Dandenong, the 13 metre high painted steel sculpture depicts a giant blackbird / ominously contemplating an object, part worm – part generic modernist / sculpture. Continuing my interest in working with ideas and iconic structures, / I have named the sculpture “Public Art Strategy”. Appropriating various aspects / of Melbourne’s most famous outdoor sculptures, the work is a ‘cut and paste’ / of the City’s public art. Bruce Armstrong’s Eagle, DCM’s Melbourne Gateway, / Inge King’s Forward Surge, Clement Meadmore’s Dervish, Peter Cortlett’s Tarax / Play Sculpture and Ron Robertson Swann’s Vault are all referenced in Public Art / Strategy. I am interested in how the City’s public art icons might come together / to tell a story about place and identity.” — Emily Floyd
When I worked in Melbourne I could see the Nylex Clock out the window of the 5th floor everyday. All Melbournians know and love the Nylex Clock!! I’m sad that I couldn’t get the top of the nylex clock in the shot but I didn’t have a choice – I still like it for what it is. I really quite like the perspective of being on the road. I’m very much in love with my city of Melbourne. Every time I go into the city I’m entranced by it. This photo was taken while travelling on the citylink. I LOVE MELBOURNE. / .
