Artist: Cliff Burtt Year: 1996 Location: Alistair Knox Park, Panther Place, Eltham
Award winning sculptor Cliff Burtt often references the geometry of architectural forms in his bold, minimalist public sculptures.
In this corten steel work, the repeated arches of the temples of antiquity are in dialogue with the nearby spans of the railway trestle bridge that cuts through the Eltham parkland.
The formality of the architecture is offset by the organic sweeps of the top profile of the work, which playfully acknowledge the hilly topography of the region.
