- In 1945 a teacher, Noel White, came to the Carrolup Native Settlement in the south-west of Western Australia. The children in his classroom were 'stolen', forcibly removed from their families by government, forbidden to speak their language or practice their culture, and confined at Carrolup Native Settlement with little or no contact with their families. In an attempt to connect with the children, Noel White would take the children for bush walks and then, on returning to the classroom, ask them to draw what they had seen in the bush. This opportunity to draw was the spark that created an astonishing collection of artworks that became internationally renowned and saw the beginning of a contemporary Noongar art movement. In 1950 Carrolup closed and a large collection of the children's art went missing after it was purchased by an international buyer. For decades academics and Elders searched for the collection. Would this lost treasure ever be found?

- Upon entering the space, a primal song-like sound attacks the senses. At first it resembles electronic music; or some mysterious voice, like that of whales. It is the sound of icebergs edges, colliding against each other. A square, shallow water tank, located centrally in the space, is fully filled. The whole floor resembles an abstract image, a dark blue square gradually transforming into a bright white, as it reaches the room's edges. The image is produced from an enlarged satellite image of a random location in Antarctica. The sound is recorded with the use of Cold War technology (super-microphones that used to track nuclear submarines in the South Pacific), so that it enables us to eavesdrop from thousands of miles away as icebergs break off Antarctica's ice shelf. An imagined landscape, at once familiar and alien, forges an opportunity to revisit a vista of the mind where a preexisting connection between our own body, mind and nature is re-energized. Samples from 2003-6 of the shifting icebergs' sounds in the Antarctic Ocean are used to compose the soundscape.
