See The Eyes of The Land and The Sea Sculpture, Kurnell, New South Wales, Australia
The Eyes of the Land and the Sea by Alison Page and Nik Lachajczak commemorates the 250th anniversary of the 1770 encounter between Aboriginal Australians and Lt James Cook’s crew of the HMB Endeavour at Kamay Botany Bay National Park, Australia.The artwork is cast in bronze and takes the form of seven ribs, resembling both the hull of the HMB Endeavour and the bones of a whale, being the Gadigal totem. Each ‘rib’ will have a different surface treatment including text and carvings to represent the different layers of history and culture of Kamay. An amalgam of two very different forms, the commemorative installation speaks to the different perspectives of those first encounters, evoking a sense of sentiment, mutual understanding and reflection on the events of 1770.
