Donald Fortescue is a Professor of Art and Design at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. He is also an alumnus of the Furniture Workshop at the ANU School of Art (Assoc. Diploma 1987).  His work involves the use of contemporary digital technologies in tandem with antiquated technologies and craftsmanship associated with expeditions of discovery from the Enlightenment era to the early 20th Century.  By combining these seemingly disparate technologies, he draws attention to their underlying meanings. Donald is currently a Visiting Artist in the Furniture Workshop.
