Internationally acclaimed Kokatha and Nukunu artist Yhonnie Scarce is unique in the Australian contemporary arts landscape, using the medium of glass as a political and aesthetic lens to narrate the colonial trauma and displacement of Australian First Nations people, as well as exposing the impact of mining and nuclear destruction globally and locally.
In the first major monograph, Yhonnie Scarce: The Light of Day considers the compelling and complex practice of the artist, through documented field trips, photographic imagery and written contributions, making visible the stories of scientific experimentation, indentured labour and nuclear testing – and shining a light on Australia’s dark history.
