QAGOMA | Yhonnie Scarce's hand-blown yam shapes in 'Air' suggest a toxic plume @QAGOMA_Australia | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Yhonnie Scarce's 'Cloud Chamber' 2020 was conceived as a memorial in response to the British nuclear tests conducted at Maralinga, South Australia, between 1953 and 1963. Drawing on historical photographs, Scarce communicates the virulent force of the airborne radiation which had a devastating impact on her people.
