The drawing Maralinga Tjarutja is based on a photograph from the National Archives of Australia which depicts a car covered with sheets of canvas in preparation for the nuclear tests conducted at Maralinga, South Australia in 1956. The original photographic image was defined by a sense of distance and quietness. An array of marks have been used to suggest a sense of motion and erasure encouraging associations to the physicality and trauma which defined the actual blasts and how they should be archived.
