LANDSCAPE OBJECTS
Landscape-Objects are a series of works that take their title from the work of geographer Veronica della Dora. Della Dora’s interest is in the way that objects bearing graphic landscape representations shape our geographical imagination, particularly through material encounter, rather than just their potency as culturally-mediated images.
The works were produced for the show Drawing Lines in the Sand in 2012, an off-site project curated by Claire Taylor and the Peleton Gallery in Sydney, Australia. Exhibited on Cockatoo Island as part of a show that reflected the “geographic imaginary particular to the Island Continent,” the works draw connections to landscapes that adorn the gifts and tourist ephemera that carry with them material ideas of place.
