Works about this Work

Lustre : Reflections on Pearling Sarah Yu , Bart Pigram , Maya Shioji , 2015 single work essay
— Appears in: Griffith Review , no. 47 2015; (p. 251-261)
'THERE IS ANOTHER boom-and-bust resource industry in the West, one with a long and near-forgotten history. The exploitation and artistic use of the pearl shell Pinctada maxima, one of the largest and most lustrous nacre-producing bivalve shells found along the northern shores, is an ancient craft dating back over twenty thousand years. Its story is full of wonder, intrigue, romance and greed – yet to be fully appreciated in Australian history.' (Author's introduction)
