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. Two essays elucidate the artist’s concerns about the interaction of biotechnology with the land and related issues. Born in Australia in 1940, Osborne has lived in Canada for many years and has exhibited throughout the country.
