Another display of Melbourne's beautiful public art.
Standing outside the State Library of Victoria in Swanston Street, these elaborately painted metal poles are the work of Jennifer McCarthy and were painted in 1992. Her work involves three poles painted in a colourful, highly decorative style. This work is not considered permanent. The City of Melbourne commissioned this work as part of the Swanston Street Walk Public Art Project.

the emotion you capture here is the joy that comes from creative expression. these poles bring color and energy to the street and ask us to stop a moment and look at our surroundings. well done, bfg. hope you're having a terrific holiday.
