Congratulations to Dan Dominguez (OR89) on the unveiling of a new sculpture on the grounds of Monte Sant' AngeloMercy College in North Sydney. Monte commissioned a short video about Mother Ignatius McQuoin, founder of Monte Sant' Angelo, who is the subject of the work, and also about Dan's creative process in developing the piece. The video can be found at https://www.clickview.net/share/Ggn5q5. 

Dan has worked as a sculptor for 30 years and was initially taught by Tom Bass who created the statue of St Ignatius' which stands next to the Wallace Wing. Dan's body of work can also be found at www.danieldominguez.org.
