Dickson Pool Mosaic

Here is a mosaic made by the Majura Women’s Group back in 2000, I believe. It sits on the wall in front of the pool’s building and you can’t miss it really.

It’s made entirely of ceramic and I’d say measures approximately 2m across by perhaps 1.5 high? I know it was funded by ArtsACT. I recently met a man at the markets where I sell some work who was one of the few guys installing it. I guess it was made directly onto the substrate and grouted before hauling it up onto the brick!!! Needless to say it was backbreaking work installing it… I think he said they needed 6 men to do it. Strange way to do it… I feel sorry for those men! Still it looks good 🙂

I’m not sure if there is a story behind it or if it was just made because… Sorry folks!
