Asset Type: Mural
Year of Work: 2019
Location: Eaton Drive, Shire of Dardanup
Provenance: Shire of Dardanup
Description: The Eastern Osprey is a medium-sized bird of prey that feeds mainly on fish and hunts in the rivers and estuarine waters around Eaton. It has dark brown feathers with pale white/cream feathers underneath that you can see when they fly above. The birds often undertake complex aerial displays where two birds will soar together in a series of patterns, or where one will follow the other weaving in and around an aerial course. These displays often occur near osprey nests, which are large structures made of sticks, driftwood and seaweed like the one located near the Eaton Foreshore along the Collie riverbank. The nests are used year after year so can reach up to two metres across and two metres tall.

They are only found in Western Australia from Kalbarri to Cape Arid. This species is classified as Endangered, due mostly to the loss and fragmentation of their preferred habitat, which is heathland plants like banksia and hakea flowers, and fruit and nuts from larger eucalypt trees.

Deco Totem
Artist: Mark Datodi
Year of Work: 2019
Location: 73 Park Steet
Description: Mark Datodi’s art practice explores ideas relating to suburbia and the impact of urban
expansion. His works combine sculptural elements and patters, which often originate from an amalgamation of street patterns and West Australian native bushland. Over the last 20 years
Mark Datodi has immersed himself in public art projects, sometimes in collaboration with other
artists, creating an impressive series of work across Western Australia.
The starting point for the Deco Totem design process was the architectural Art Deco aesthetic
of the building. Importantly, in reference to the building itself, the artwork form opens at its
height and leads the eye upwards to the building’s roof garden, which forms a ‘green link’
between the building, McDougall Park and the surrounding streetscape.
The leaf-like forms of the artwork are symbolic; the leaf is a symbol of hope, renewal and
revival. The leaf pattern references the beauty and precision in the repetitive forms of plants in
the natural world, the spread of tree branches, the shape of leaves, the flow of leaf veins and
linkages of the cells. Everything is in systematic harmony.
The gestural geometry of the sculptural work shows leaves that twist and overlap organically
and rhythmically upward featuring stylised patterning on these elements reinforcing the Art
Deco language of the work. The patterns cast shadows that will change with changes in light,
and create patterns and movement over the day and at night, as they have been ground lit.
