“Clock tower, Forum Theatre, Melbourne”

This work is inspired by the Forum Theatre in Melbourne. Built in the 1920s, the architecture of this building reveals Islamic and Gothic influences. The clock tower features a copper dome, spires, beautifully wrought clock faces and intricate Islamic patterning.
The whole building is a marvel with many surprising features including gargoyles and monsters, arched windows with intricately carved screens, towers and domes.
