As I mentioned I would return to take better photos of the sculpture in Therry Street near Victoria Market, I have, and here they are. The work is clearly related to the market. At first glance the cart wheel is visible.

The bronze work is called Wind Contrivance and the artist is Pauline Fraser. The fish could be swimming together in a stream. Carrots and an eggplant (England: aubergine). Whatever it is called, I don't like it.

This side is a pumpkin with an apple and I don't know what the vegetable with the stalk is, and there is also a fishing net.

The corrugated looking tin could represent the market roof.

I like to see public art but that one is not to my taste. I am glad it is there but I don't like it - if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI am glad it is there EC, but it is quite plain.
DeleteIt is quite unique. I think I like it.
ReplyDeleteJayCee, I like the connection to the adjacent market.
DeleteI rarely venture this area. Thanks for good shots
ReplyDeleteI am rarely around there too, but I met a friend for lunch nearby.
DeleteLike them
ReplyDeleteGood.
DeleteI'd like to come across this while out walking. It's definitely different and full of movement.
ReplyDeleteI suppose there are benefits to living in a big city Boud. We do have lots of public art.
DeleteHaven't been to the QVic market for a few years, as I much prefer the south melbourne market. Maybe its time for me to go back. I love seeing sculpture in public places, and these would make me stop and think about them.
ReplyDeleteI prefer South Melbourne Market too, J. But gosh, it can be manic on weekends.
DeleteShame we never go up that part of town- would be interesting to see in real life. There are different shapes and textures to look at and admire
ReplyDeleteI think the veg with a stalk is Artichoke
Cathy, I agree, an artichoke. The name wouldn't come to me.
DeleteThose fish are literally swimming DOWNstream!
ReplyDeleteKirk, so salmon going downstream, not traveling to spawn upstream.
DeleteWhen you say 'Wind Contrivance' does it actually move in the wind??? I'm trying to figure out how.
ReplyDeleteDebby, it is perfectly static and who knows why it received that title.
DeleteJust to confuse the yanks, no doubt.
DeleteEverybody, but we don't question art.
DeleteInteresting, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteCathy, that's what I say to Philip when he cooks something for himself and I am forced to taste it.
DeleteIt's an interesting work, with something for everyone.
ReplyDeleteYes, I suppose so River. No passer by seems to even notice it.
DeleteThere's a lot there to engage the eyes and the brain.
ReplyDeleteJB, it does have interesting detail to examine.
DeleteA lot to take in, at every single angle. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob.
DeleteI'm not thrilled by it although I like some aspects of it, Andrew.
ReplyDeletePat, it kind of suits the market environment.
DeleteKind of a hodge-podge, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteA good description Steve.
