Stretching along Tamar Street, this vibrant mosaic by artist Scott Harrower transforms the exterior of the DOCS Building into a captivating public artwork. Made from ceramic tiles, the mosaic tells a story of community and connection, weaving together local colour, texture, and cultural reflection. Each section of the artwork captures fragments of place and memory — a visual narrative that honours Ballina's people and landscape through a timeless craft. The piece is both modern and enduring, enriching the streetscape with artistic energy and storytelling depth. Scott Harrower is a mosaic artist whose practice, Scott Harrower Design – Classical & Modern Mosaics, is dedicated to collaboration and craftsmanship. His approach focuses on listening deeply to communities and interpreting stories through social, cultural, and historical lenses. Combining classical techniques with contemporary design, Scott creates works that are bold, lasting, and emotionally resonant, built to inspire both current and future generations.
