[19] [20] His installation works use objects as diverse as train sets, [21] rubber tubing, [22] wind-up music boxes [23] and fans to create a visual and sound environment. [24] His works for the gallery often have a strong conceptual aspect; in Audio Recordings of Great Works of Art Osborn made recordings of the space surrounding famous works of art, then played back only these sounds in an exhibition.
