Loretta Quinn
Bronze sculpture on granite plinth, 1993
Cnr Swanston St & Flinders La (Melway ref. 2F, G5)
Born in Hobart, Loretta Quinn studied sculpture at the Tasmanian School of Art and the Victorian College of the Arts. The City of Melbourne commissioned Quinn to create Beyond the Ocean of Existence as part of the Swanston Walk redevelopment in 1992; the sculpture was unveiled the following year. The city also commissioned Quinn’s Within Three Worlds, located in Princes Park.
Beyond the Ocean of Existence demonstrates Quinn’s reflective approach, and it is a work replete with religious references. There is a sense of ‘folk religion’ in much of her art, and whether the symbols derive from the mystery of a Latin mass or the animist universe, a Celtic myth or a Japanese garden, she says they are ‘visual references to which others will relate’.
A patinated bronze sculpture, Beyond the Ocean of Existence comprises a single large ball surrounded by eight bronze coils. A series of smaller balls and lengths of column, both triangular and circular in cross-section, surmount these coils. At the sculpture’s top is a stylised angel. The work is a mounted on a granite plinth of dressed and polished blocks.

This gorgeous little house has ceased to be. Plowed under in the name of progress. We remember.
Process notes:
Three passes during scanning. One produced an image with only highlight information and just a small amount of midtone detail. This image looked very dark. Second image was for midtones. Highlights were completely blown out in this image and also no shadow detail. The third image was made to show only shadow detail. This was a very bright image, with no details in the highlights at all.
Arranged as layers in Photoshop, Highlight image on top, Multiply 50% opacity. Shadow image in the middle, Multiply 75% opacity. Midtone image on bottom, Normal 100% opacity.
I used a Levels layer on top of all of that to make final adjustments to the overall dark levels.

The record on the existence of Košice dating from 1230 in connected with that on the existence of the rectory church. In the process of the settlement's transformation from a rural community into a town, all its periods of success and failures had been reflected on St. Elizabeth's Cathedral. According to historic data the present-day cathedral was built on the site of an edifice of older date which was consecrated to St. Elisabeth as well. It was referred to in the document of Pope Martin V of the year 1283 and in the letter of 1290, which stated that Eger bishop Andrew II exempted Košice parish from the dean's sphere of jurisdiction.
This medieval monument was built in the High Gothic style between 1378 and 1508 in several stages on the site of a parish church that burned down in 1370, in memory of Saint Elisabeth of Hungary, the patrona of all armed mercenaries and also Portugal.
The cathedral was often damaged by calamities (1556) and underwent numerous restorations. The most extensive restoration works took place in the years 1877-1896 by the drafts of Imre Steindl. The northern tower was completed in 1775, while the southern, Matthias tower in 1904. During the last phase of the restoration a crypt was built under the northern nave of the cathedral. In 1906 the remains of Francis II Rákóczi and his friends from Rodosto were buried there.
