Industry Profile: Don Macdonald - "More Artworks Follow"

The Garden Scene

Water Feature Urn

The Optic Pool

St Thomas More Icon

The Shields Street Heart Mosaic Project is a three dimensional Australian Indigenous public artwork commissioned by Cairns Regional Council and installed by Don Macdonald and The Orchid Group^ team.   

To secure such a project required not only a high level of mosaic competency but also a depth of experience in completing mosaic artworks and especially three dimensional works.

Last time we saw how a project disaster was the catalyst for Don to meet art dealer Keith Murphy and to produce a series of Indigenous mosaic artworks. This week we see how previous experiences gained by the team were ultimately required to complete the Cairns project.

Two major artworks, the St Thomas More Icon and the Garden Scene artwork provided the team with the fundamental experience in developing techniques to deal with the very tiny hand-cut slivers that are inherent in a hand-cut mosaic artwork.  Additionally, these two artworks provided valuable experience in using LATAPOXY® SP-100 and SPECTRALOCK® both of which would be essential elements of the Cairns project. As well as artistic experience the team gained valuable technical experience from two other complex three dimensional projects, the Optic Pool and Water Feature Urn.
