Inspired by nature's life cycles on Lake Tyers, Float artist Josephine Jakobi designs Observatorium

It's been four years since Josephine Jakobi spent a week on board a floating art studio moored in the middle of Victoria's Lake Tyers. 

As the first live-in artist-in-residence aboard Float, Ms Jakobi submerged fabric off the side of the vessel so it could be stained by the tidal waters of the lake, forming a series of embellished linens.

"My first impression staying there, back in 2018, was that I was completely outnumbered and overwhelmed by fish. They're noisy, they're obvious, they're intriguing," Jakobi said.
