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.
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.

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.
