The fantabulous Mirka Mora created this mosaic work at Melbourne Flinders Street Station. Part of it is now covered up by the gambling venue, Clocks, but most of it is still visible. It has since been 'touched up' since Mirka first created the work. The ever so wicked and talented Mora first.

Thanks for the link. What an extraordinary woman. A colourful life and a dazzling mural.
ReplyDeleteAre you telling me they put a casino in front of that? Tear it down!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to a fascinating woman. I had heard of her (mostly through her links with John and Sunday Reed) but knew very little. I will have to explore further. I agree with Kirk's comment.
ReplyDeleteRead Mirka Mora by Sabine Cotte. Excellent biography.
DeleteThank you for the information. I loved that iconic art there but never knew it was Mirka!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting woman and artist! Thank you for introducing her to my life. I love learning more about the Australian art world.
ReplyDeleteFantastic and colourful mural. What a pity about the casino in front of it. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew. Will have to read up about this artist as I had never heard of her.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful mural.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely mural and she lead such an interesting life as well.
ReplyDeleteI had a few Mirka Mora blog posts to share with you, but they were there yesterday and gone today :(((( I don't understand. Do people dislike her enough to ruin good writing?
ReplyDeleteMy blog has a new name now, but that didn't seem to help retrieve Mora.
Profit before art and beauty. The casino should go.
ReplyDeleteA lot of detail.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteIs that middle section a mosaic? Pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteYes Steve. The top and bottom areas are painted and the centre, mosaic.
