Placing stones as they are found event where video documentation follows stones bought in K-Mart Sydney and returned to place of origin based on advice from Chinese people. People from Uluru to the coastline drew circles on the backs of postcards depicting local stone and discussed their connection to stone. The work explores mining and globalism from the contradictory careful singular action of “undoing” the trajectory of a few small Chinese stones. Through the connection between stone and bone, and stone and soul the lost, stolen, repressed and disrupted connections with our own ancestral tradition through migration, deportation and imperialism are implied as well as Indigenous issues around repatriation.
