6. Ant HillHelen FosterStoneware clay $450Hand made with coils, once basic shape made, I added extra clay for the textured effect.In 1977 I pursued artistic training attending drawing and painted classes at night. 32 years living in Kalgoorlie plus one year in Paraburdoo gave me a great understanding of the landscape and it became apparent through creative exploration that I could capture my feelings and visions of the radiant landscape by throwing simple forms reflecting the colours of the land from its range of subtle hues to through to the harsh browns, reds and ochres. In 2001 I moved to Margaret River another beautiful part of WA, a softer, gentler lifestyle and a new chapter in my life. I am trying to explore the possibilities that clay presents for expression of the land and sea. Ultimately my aim is to create forms of beauty with visual impact and to establish an individuality of style

16. The Heart of the Matter (VS 1995)Venetia SievekingSilkscreen: Ink on Paper (Archers 88 350qsm) editions of ten. 1995$250 Indigenous engravings from Boodane Landing (the old waterway ‘pick up point’ for goods and people by boat). Central to the image is a wreck of an old Holden engine from Strelly station (site of the first indigenous walk offs). Significant because it was the elder’s knowledge of mechanics that meant he could travel from station to station and organise the walk offs. Framing the engine are trowels and rope, from beside the rail tracks sidings, which were used to take the resources extracted from mining, such as iron ore, to port headland. You’ll also notice the subtle allusion to the Aboriginal flag which the entire composition of the image makes up. Preparatory works (field work) took place 1988/1990 & 1993/194. Completed in 1995

17. Pilbara Nights (VS 1995)Venetia SievekingSilkscreen: Ink on Paper (Archers 88 350qsm) editions of ten. 1995$250 Conjoined images, similar to some indigenous works - sites include de Grey River, Bute’s out of Port Headland (near Stelley) Hedland bush.Venetia exhibited in the UK under the auspices of the Aldermaston Pottery at Aldermaston and London galleries and with the Kelly St Kollective in Sydney in the 1980’s.

68. Maralinga 1 – Fallout ForecastMick Broderick$150Out front of one of the few remaining original buildings at Maralinga in the mid-1950s. This forecasting stone is conspicuous for its absence of detail concerning fallout and adverse weather conditions. Indeed, one incident after a change in winds led to the virtual evacuation of the Maralinga Village when nuclear fallout headed towards the township.

69. Maralinga 2 – Kuka PalyaMick Broderick$150The sign near Taranaki is meant to alert the traditional owners that, while is not safe to camp in the area, it is okay to eat local tucker like kangaroo. However, rabbits and lizards burrow underground where scores of pits of radioactive contaminants have been buried. Paradoxically, this sign may actually mislead the Aboriginal owners into assuming all fauna is safe to eat.

70. Maralinga 3 – TransmutationMick Broderick$150At the Breakaway site of 10 kiloton atomic weapon was detonated in 1956 as part of the Buffalo series of explosions. Despite attempts to remediate the radioactive contamination at ground zero by ploughing the topsoil into the earth, large areas or fractured green glass sit atop the red desert soil. This glass was created within seconds by the intense nuclear heat, melting the ochre sand to form a crust a few millimetres this of “Maralingite”.

71. Maralinga 4 – TaranakiMick Broderick$150For decades Taranaki was the most polluted place in Australia. Before a series of clean-up operations, often exhuming and reburying radioactive waste, across the surface of Taranaki chunks of plutonium and other radionuclides could be found scattered throughout the land. Fissile material was deliberately burned, exploded and aerosolised into the atmosphere and environment in experiments known as ‘minor trials’ from 1960-63.

72. Maralinga 5- Atomic DunnyMick Broderick$150A few kilometres nor’west of Roadside on the Five Ways junction and to the proving grounds, British engineers constructed a group of latrines. Here the remaining pedal-powered WC slowly decays in the harsh desert environment within ear-shot of the test sites on the other side of the sandy ridge.

73. Maralinga 6 – Swimming Pit Mick Broderick$150During its Cold War heyday Maralinga Village boasted and 25 metre outdoor concrete swimming pool. When the site was abandoned the pool was filled in with demolished building parts and other junk, then resurfaced to form Pit 68U. Throughout the test area, scores of pits filled with radioactive waste and contaminated equipment dot the horizon.

74. Maralinga 7 – Road to Nowhere Mick Broderick$150The test site road junction is known as Five Ways. It is spoke shaped intersection with the signage painted onto the all-weather surfaced roads built by British and Australian service personnel, still remarkable condition today, given the extremes of climate. The path leads to ground zeros from both Buffalo (1956) and Antler (1957) nuclear test series.

75. Maralinga 8 – Ground BurstMick Broderick$150At Marcoo (Buffalo series 1956) a small tactical device of 1.5 kiloton was exploded on the surface, gouging out a crater fifty metres wide and twenty deep. The surface was instantaneously scorched by nuclear heat and fire, melting and fusing the nearby ochre soil into radioactive green glass (“Marcooite”). This photo was taken less than fifty metres from the concrete Marcoo commemorative plinth.

76. Maralinga 9 – Sign of the Times Mick Broderick$150The rusting and peeling original sign at Biak (Antler series 1957) is a palimpsest to the nuclear age, having been overwritten several times. In the background, the pyramid shaped, concrete commemorative plinth displays the detonation date on one face, while the other sides describe the device’s yield (6 kilotons) and warning of the elvated radiation levels in the area.

77. Maralinga 10 – Nuclear StumpMick Broderick$150Less than 100 metres from the Breakaway Ground Zero (Buffalo series, 10 kiloton) this shattered tree stump stands as mute testament to the force of the blast. Across the plain all the trees are dead, having been torn apart from the concussive overpressure of the atomic impact over fifty years ago.

79. Old Desert FarmRocio Martin Photography$180Night shot in the Goldfields, at Old Desert Farm, during the last Busabout in January 2013 – part of a photographic series portraying the Goldfields aboriginal comunity’s struggle against the devastating impact uranium mining poses to the preservation of their land, language and culture.
