This drawing comprises 51 individual parts and depicts the entire coastline of Tasmania. Each feature has been labelled with both the English and Aboriginal topographic names, acknowledging language’s power in creating meaning and shaping our world view. Maddock’s choice of medium is also telling: she has used pigments made from native Tasmanian ochres to make this drawing.
