《国家》雕塑丨澳大利亚悉尼丨UAP 与 Five Mile Radius

这件作品由UAP与Five Mile Radius共同协作完成。澳大利亚设计师Jacob Nash是原住民戴利河人的后裔，在过去的20年里，他一直在澳大利亚悉尼的埃奥拉地区生活、工作和创作。

This artwork was build by UAP & Five Mile Radius. Australian designer Jacob Nash is a descendant of the Daly River people, and has spent the last 20 years living, working and creating in Sydney on Eora country.

2021年，Nash与UAP澳大利亚团队合作，为悉尼的哈灵顿收藏馆交付了作品《国家》——这是一个永久性的功能性雕塑。设计师在作品中使用混凝土和光滑的砂岩，其创作初衷是为了呼应土地和环境对建筑的影响，提醒人们尽管景观环境被改变，但他们永远居住在原住民族群的领土上。

In 2021, Nash worked with UAP’s Australian team to deliver Country, a permanent functional sculptural feature for The Harrington Collection in Sydney. Made using honed concrete and smooth sandstone, Nash was driven to create this work as a response to the effects the built environment has upon the land, reminding people that they are always on Country, despite the altering of the landscape.

艺术家和团队利用牡蛎壳和回收的拆迁建材，组成了一个流动的构图。穿过建筑结构的底部，参照地质地貌和隐藏在地表下的底层结构，Nash试图将藏在地下的结构展示在人们面前，暗指被掩埋已久的土著文明。

Using found oyster shells and reclaimed demolition materials, the artist and team composed the pieces into a flowing composition across the underside of the structure. Making reference to geological landforms and the substrata that remain uncovered and hidden beneath the surface, Nash sought to expose this and indicate the deep time that exists in country.

牡蛎壳的有机形状和蜿蜒流动的图案与作品的精致线条相映成趣，提醒我们一个地区不由我们所看到的表面来定义，而是由那里曾经发生的许多故事和人来定义，这些故事和人亦将永存。

The organic shape of the oyster shells and long flowing pattern play against the refined lines that they exist within, reminding us that country is not defined by what we see on the surface, but by the many stories and lives that have and will always exist there.
