What a curious sight we have before us. This is the Bird and Worm Sculpture, a towering landmark here on EastLink. It’s a beloved piece of public art created by the talented Melbourne artist, Emily Floyd. Standing tall at 13 meters, this striking black bird appears to be locked in a standoff with a bright yellow worm. The sculpture is more than just a whimsical roadside attraction. It’s a commentary on Melbourne’s public art scene. Look closely, and you’ll notice elements inspired by other iconic sculptures around the city. You’ll find echoes of Bruce Armstrong’s Eagle, DCM’s Melbourne Gateway, and even Ron Robertson-Swann’s controversial Vault. The Bird and Worm Sculpture isn’t just a standalone piece. It’s part of EastLink’s expansive 480-hectare sculpture park, arguably the largest in Australia. This park showcases a diverse collection of sculptures, transforming a mundane freeway into an open-air art gallery. This massive bird and its worm are a testament to the power of public art to spark our imaginations and remind us to find joy in the unexpected.
