“Melbourne by Day” renders the city in its most luminous state — a layered photographic composition built over five years, drawing together the iconic landmarks of Melbourne’s skyline into a single, breathing frame.
The dome of Flinders Street Station anchors the centre, surrounded by city towers, the Yarra, Southbank’s waterfront and lush green foliage — all woven together through Durham’s layered process into a composition that moves between recognition and abstraction. The eye travels, discovers, and returns to find something new each time.
Where its companion piece “Melbourne by Night” pulses with neon intensity, this work breathes — lighter, more expansive, and unmistakably alive. The palette is aqua, teal and electric green, shot through with gold, violet and the warm amber of city light, the whole composition held together by a luminous, almost otherworldly glow.
At scale, the work becomes fully immersive — Melbourne in full daylight, filling the room with colour, movement, and unmistakable presence.
A surface that draws out the full luminosity and tonal depth of this work.
