Photocopied collage. H21 W29.7 cm

Based on a map of Australia. Comprised of paper wasp’s nests. White Australian Anglo-Saxon Protestant still prevail in the colonial make-up of the Antipodes – to the distinct detriment of the First Nations People. The heart of Australia still bleeds. Among the atrocities perpetrated in the name of bringing civilization were more than 20 nuclear tests carried out in the 1950’s and 60’s by the British colonial masters of Australia. These were carried out with the permission and participation of the then Australian government/s.
