Big Things Down Under

Telescopus – by Dominic Johns

I had the pleasure of meeting Dom at the 2008 SAMA conference held this past March in Miami. From Parramatta Park, Australia, Dominic is just a great guy and definitely passionate about everything he does, as you can tell by his loving embrace of his newest work.

Upon completion this is what Dom has to say: Telescopus is in and I’m feeling very happy now. This project has been approx 1000 hours to bring to fruition and now I’m ready for the next one. Moving the work was a tense experience, but we managed to do it without breaking anything. So get down to the Cairns Esplanard 'nard’ opposite 181 The Esplanade and check it out. The cut face glows in the dark!

Welcome!

Welcome! to the new WitsEnd Mosaic blog. I hope to create a lively and creative space to share my passion for mosaics, customers and friends work, and a little of life's travels. May inspiration of thoughts and philisophies, ideas and art abound!

When you think about it, our lives are truely a mosaic of people and events. Some pieces come to us by chance and others by hard work and determination. However each is brought to us we have the opportuntiy to place it in a way that will best enhance the finished piece. Some pieces fall easily into place, other need a bit of coaching and some are best left to the side. The art of mosaics is ancient and lives on long past the maker and so too the mosaics of our lives live on, in the lives of our children and the others we have touched, on the planet and the footprint we leave behind and in the message we voice through our art.
