For almost four decades, Lyndal Osborne has collected, ordered, classified and studied the world around her. She collects shells, seeds, plants, rocks and other materials from the natural world
as well as fabricated items such as discarded wires, computer remnants, and industrial discards. The (re)ordering that Osborne establishes is based within the realm of the personal yet achieves
a vast and great resonance. This publication presents two significant works, Garden and Archipelago and is the fruit of a collaboration with several exhibiting galleries. Born in Australia,
Osborne lives in Canada and has exhibited throughout the country.
