Artwork title : Queen Elizabeth II Island

The skinny canvas reflects the shape of the tall building to the left known as the Carillon. This building essentially marks time by playing melodies that resonate over the surface of Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra. It’s a special building that defines place, time and tradition. The Carillon building design was inspired by the wonderful Toblerone bar! The three pillars are triangular in floor plan and symbolically pay homage to the triangular geometric planning of Canberra. The island upon which the Carillon dwells was named Queen Elizabeth II island in 2022 to honour the queen’s platinum jubilee. Australia remains part of the Commonwealth despite being politically independent on the global stage.
