Printed on an 1800 Albion & Potter Proof Press. Linocuts & etchings. Zerkall. Edition of thirty. #24. 2012"--Colophon. "An artists' book. The work reveals the three artists' response to one of Sydney's darkest historical colonial sites, Cockatoo Island, an imperial prison, industrial school, reformatory and jail. The text also invokes the present day situation of refugees and refers to 'those other islands we use as a noose -- Nauru, Christmas Island, Timor, Malaysia,' asking: 'When will the time come ... when compassion will span the dark waters like an indestructible bridge uniting us and the best part of our dreams for the future with the best part of their dreams for the future.'"-Trove website catalog entry. Signed in pencil below colophon by Gwen Harrison and Sue Anderson.
