Continuum by Michael Snape (1951 - )
Created in 2005, this impressive artistic work measures 600 x 600 x 1200 cm and stands at the intersection of The Esplanade and Bourke Street along Waterview Walk. Essentially, Continuum is about the dance of life, reflecting the human condition of being alive.
The interconnected figures encircle each other and reach up to the sky, conveying a sense of community, co-operation and wellbeing. The artist was inspired by the Docklands coming to life again, impacting on the community's sense of self and causing "an internal shift: this is the continuum."
Doesn't Melbourne have some great art. Thanks for sharing our beautiful part of the world with the rest of the world.
ReplyDelete¿Quienes son los Docklands?
ReplyDeleteDavine - Melbourne has over 100 public art pieces! WE may not have the old masters of Europe, but our public art is superb.
ReplyDeleteJohnny - Docklands is the name given to the area being developed which is adjacent to the CBD and extending for 2 kms to the west.
Cheers.
