Tracing tides: a topographical investigation: [image #13], Table 4
Artist: Lyndal Osborne
Work ID: 51241
Description: This work represents a topographical view of the landscape I encountered in two nature preserves on opposite sides of the world. The Murramarang National Park in New South Wales, Australia, and the Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland are both coastal areas, positioned on the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
The rocky outcrops, sand dunes, river estuaries, rock pools, sandy and pebbly beaches were the focus of my investigation. At each low tide I would examine the high-water tide lines and collect various debris as it was washed ashore. Some of the material was natural to the locale but often it was peppered with man-made detritus. These had their own particular poignancy in Newfoundland with the assortment of lobster bands, wood crab traps, shotgun cartridges and discarded plastic, all reminders of a decimated fishing industry.
The collected material was used to create both the landscape topographies and the hand manipulated balls which form the second layer on each table. Many of the balls were made on the site in an instinctive response to the materials themselves. I may have been influenced by the Australian aboriginals who I observed frequently in my childhood as they sat on the ground and fashioned small objects. While they did this they told stories and laughed. I was also inspired by the cultural tradition of the Maasai. Hair balls are coughed up by the lion in its death spasm. To celebrate their killing, the Maasai keep these as highly esteemed tokens of courage. The ball belongs to the warrior who speared the lion and is kept and passed on from generation to generation. I wanted the balls to symbolize my own intervention and cultural references.

The rocky outcrops, sand dunes, river estuaries, rock pools, sandy and pebbly beaches were the focus of my investigation. At each low tide I would examine the high-water tide lines and collect various debris as it was washed ashore. Some of the material was natural to the locale but often it was peppered with man-made detritus. These had their own particular poignancy in Newfoundland with the assortment of lobster bands, wood crab traps, shotgun cartridges and discarded plastic, all reminders of a decimated fishing industry.
The collected material was used to create both the landscape topographies and the hand manipulated balls which form the second layer on each table. Many of the balls were made on the site in an instinctive response to the materials themselves. I may have been influenced by the Australian aboriginals who I observed frequently in my childhood as they sat on the ground and fashioned small objects. While they did this they told stories and laughed. I was also inspired by the cultural tradition of the Maasai. Hair balls are coughed up by the lion in its death spasm. To celebrate their killing, the Maasai keep these as highly esteemed tokens of courage. The ball belongs to the warrior who speared the lion and is kept and passed on from generation to generation. I wanted the balls to symbolize my own intervention and cultural references.

Description: This work represents a topographical view of the landscape I encountered in two nature preserves on opposite sides of the world. The Murramarang National Park in New South Wales, Australia, and the Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland are both coastal areas, positioned on the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
The rocky outcrops, sand dunes, river estuaries, rock pools, sandy and pebbly beaches were the focus of my investigation. At each low tide I would examine the high-water tide lines and collect various debris as it was washed ashore. Some of the material was natural to the locale but often it was peppered with man-made detritus. These had their own particular poignancy in Newfoundland with the assortment of lobster bands, wood crab traps, shotgun cartridges and discarded plastic, all reminders of a decimated fishing industry.
The collected material was used to create both the landscape topographies and the hand manipulated balls which form the second layer on each table. Many of the balls were made on the site in an instinctive response to the materials themselves. I may have been influenced by the Australian aboriginals who I observed frequently in my childhood as they sat on the ground and fashioned small objects. While they did this they told stories and laughed. I was also inspired by the cultural tradition of the Maasai. Hair balls are coughed up by the lion in its death spasm. To celebrate their killing, the Maasai keep these as highly esteemed tokens of courage. The ball belongs to the warrior who speared the lion and is kept and passed on from generation to generation. I wanted the balls to symbolize my own intervention and cultural references.

Tracing tides: a topographical investigation: [image #12], Table 4
Artist: Lyndal Osborne
Work ID: 51240
Description: This work represents a topographical view of the landscape I encountered in two nature preserves on opposite sides of the world. The Murramarang National Park in New South Wales, Australia, and the Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland are both coastal areas, positioned on the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
The rocky outcrops, sand dunes, river estuaries, rock pools, sandy and pebbly beaches were the focus of my investigation. At each low tide I would examine the high-water tide lines and collect various debris as it was washed ashore. Some of the material was natural to the locale but often it was peppered with man-made detritus. These had their own particular poignancy in Newfoundland with the assortment of lobster bands, wood crab traps, shotgun cartridges and discarded plastic, all reminders of a decimated fishing industry.
The collected material was used to create both the landscape topographies and the hand manipulated balls which form the second layer on each table. Many of the balls were made on the site in an instinctive response to the materials themselves. I may have been influenced by the Australian aboriginals who I observed frequently in my childhood as they sat on the ground and fashioned small objects. While they did this they told stories and laughed. I was also inspired by the cultural tradition of the Maasai. Hair balls are coughed up by the lion in its death spasm. To celebrate their killing, the Maasai keep these as highly esteemed tokens of courage. The ball belongs to the warrior who speared the lion and is kept and passed on from generation to generation. I wanted the balls to symbolize my own intervention and cultural references.
