'Standing By Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner' honours the lives of Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner, two Aboriginal Tasmanian men publicly hanged in Melbourne in 1842. In this case the memorial for Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner is complex and will no doubt be tarnished with the layers of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal versions of history and memory. It is a monument that is experimental and empowering. It begs contemporary viewers to embrace innovative processes of how to remember their tragic story through historical artistic representations of the ready-made object.
