NURSING ROCKS!!!!!!!
2009 is the 20th Anniversary of JCU's School of Nursing, Midwifery and Nutrition. To celebrate we have almost completed 23 mosaic panels on six large boulders sourced from the hillside behind the Townsville campus. Designs represent the six sites which now offer Nursing related education. The work will be installed in the grounds of the Townsville Nursing School by mid 2010 which coincides with the 40th anniversary of James Cook University.
The designer is Linda Ashton who is assisted by community mosaic artists Janine Jumeau, Sonya Gabel and Mary Fokes. JCU School of Education students have also assisted with some mosaic work. Sponsorship has been kindly provided by John Durkin at Superior Concept Tiles, Townsville and JCU Facilities Management.
The six campus sites are Townsville, Cairns, Mt.Isa, Thursday Island, Fiji and External Programs. The images posted show preparation of the installation site, photoshop designs and some of the completed mosaic panels which are yet to be adhered to surfaces of the 6 host rocks. Staff from each site were invited to contribute ideas for imagery which would symbolise their place. Some School of Nursing staff also participated in mosaicing. On October 9th 2009 a small celebration was held to mark the actual date of the 20th anniversary. Part of the program shared the artwork progress and also saw the 3 Heads of School present to assist with a tree planting and burial of a time capsule near one of the rocks.
