Talking Place: Unfolding Conversations (2019) is a collaborative exhibition between Tracy Hill, Monika Lukowska, Annette Nykiel, Sarah Robinson, Jane Whelan, and sound artist Ryan Burge that explores the significance of wetlands with particular focus on Lake Walyungup; a shallow, ephemeral salt-lake in the Rockingham area known by the local Noongar people as ‘the place where people talk’. Lake Walyungup is a seemingly forgotten, empty space in the midst of a growing urban community which offers shelter to migratory birds and wildlife. It has a deep history embedded in thrombolite remains, links with the Noongar community and various historical uses by the passing groups of settlers and armed forces.

Talking place
Monika Lukowska, Sarah Robinson, Annette Nykiel, Jane Whelan
Exhibition during IMPACT 10 International Printmaking Conference, Palacete del Embarcadero, Santader, Spain, September 2018
A collaborative project involving the experience of four artists ‘encountering’ a previously unvisited space; Lake Walyungup, Western Australia (32.3411° S, 115.7782° E) - which was know by the local indigenous Nyoongar people as ‘the place where people talk’. It is a shallow, ephemeral salt-lake which, on that first visit, shimmered as a mirage in the heat of summer. Using our engagement with landscape as the matrix, we have responded individually as interdisciplinary artists to this place in the language of our own practice; which include the earth sciences, drawing, lithography, digital printmaking, screenprinting, and etching.
