Julie Gough She was sold for one guinea, 2007 Found beaded decoration and book on wooden shelf 12 x 13.5 x 20 cm collection of NGA

This work is literally a closed book. The book is fixed shut by the words on paper tape: SHE WAS SOLD FOR ONE GUINEA. This brief sentence refers to an event in the life of one of my ancestors. Woretemoeteyenner, daughter of Mannalagenna a significant leader of the Oyster Bay people, was born around 1795 and died 1847 near Latrobe in Tasmania. A Trawlwoolway woman from Cape Portland, north east Tasmania, Woretemoeteyenner spent the last 6 years of her life with her daughter, Dalrymple Briggs and family after Dalrymple successfully petitioned the governor for her mother’s release from Wybalenna, Flinders Island. Understanding Woretemoeteyenner’s life is, for me, a gradual unfolding of clues about what happened to her and all my family, especially during the first 50 years of the 1800s, when life on and around the island now called Tasmania was a series of changes, interruptions, violence and misdemeanours. It is difficult to comprehend and interpret those frontier times when information today is so brief and cryptic. Sometime in the late 1820s, perhaps 1827 after Woretemoeteyenner returned from 2 years of sea travel across to Mauritius with 4 other Aboriginal women and sealers. It appears that at this time her partner of perhaps 17 years, George Briggs, sealer from Dunstable Bedfordshire, sold her for a guinea to fellow sealer John Thomas. There is historic silence for Woretemoeteyenner’s life until 19 Dec 1830 when James Parish ‘brought in” to Swan Island five Aboriginal women he had found on Penguin Island, including this ancestor to George Augustus Robinson, lay preacher and Govt appointed “Conciliator of the Aborigines.” These women were: PILLEVER/TRUCKLOWRUNNER/NOLLAWOLLAKER and TARERENORERER/WALYER and WORETERMOTETEYER and PLOWNNEME/PANGEM and NICKERUMPOWWERRERTER. These five women had been held captive catching seals for John Thomas, John Brown, Thomas Fisher, Thomas Turnbull and had got 120 skins in the previous 7 weeks. Briggs is not listed at this date as sealing in the Furneaux Islands of Bass Strait. Woretemoeteyenner soon after is living, again captive, but this time by Government order, at Wybalenna on Flinders Island, where she will spend almost a decade apart from her three daughters and son. This small artwork is about the frustration, anxiety and anger that I carry about those times. I am like this closed book, this story is in me, but it is hard to fathom. Apparently until about the 1830s in England wives could be sold at market, especially if both the wife and husband wanted this. This practice was frowned upon in England from the late 1700s, but sealer’s lives were separate in time and space than the place they had left behind. The sealers continued and modified their own cultural practices to suit their ruthless lives. The guinea had been replaced from the major unit of currency in 1816 in the “Great Recoinage” by the pound and with a coin called a sovereign. But in Bass Strait the Guinea was still tendered, probably to the end of the 1820s or even later. The guinea was equivalent to 21 shillings (£1.05 in decimalised currency). The guinea most likely to have been used to buy Woretemoeteyenner, if this account is true, would be the George the Third spade guinea of c.1795, minted on about the year of her birth.

Julie Gough Malahide 2008 Fingal Valley coal necklace on dropped Northern Midlands antlers 200 x 133 x 35 cm Collection of Art Gallery of SA

My making of strung coal necklaces refers in part to the Tasmanian shell necklace tradition, my own gap in missing the inheritance of that tradition in my immediate family, and how the processes of dispossession of Country: colonisation: farming, hunting, mining are in part responsible for this gap. However, probably ironically, my maternal Tasmanian Aboriginal family and my paternal Scottish family have both worked in, and in Tasmania owned, coal mines. Dalrymple Briggs and her husband Thomas Johnson opened in 1855 their 'Alfred Colliery' -.6 km east of Tarleton, Tasmania. Today abandoned, the seam was about 600 mm thick. The family of my Scottish Grandmother, Ann Gough (neé Laird) and Laird, Dobbie, Rennie relatives worked extensively in coal mines in Lanarkshire near Glasgow up to the early 1900s. The feel of coal in my hands is compelling. Somehow familiar, I feel the pull to collect, sort, drill and thread these giant necklaces. The blackness of the coal dust is somehow disconcerting given it is not the warm charcoal of a fireplace but the darkest coldest blackness of our ancient island’s core. The weight of a coal necklace becomes more than the personal, it seems to be the shared load of our history, I walk with each one around my shoulders once it is made, before it is consigned to a crate. Dark Valley, Van Diemen’s Land is then a mute memorial, a remembrance of the grim times and an invocation to keep making one’s way forward to comprehend what happened in VDL and where we are today in Tasmania. The antlers represent the avoidance and anxiety evident across Tasmania today in terms of the mainstream unwillingness/inability? to present colonial history as also Tasmanian Aboriginal history. Post 1800 Aboriginal Tasmanian history is afforded space in Bass Strait but is yet to be presented as concurrent and engaged with anglo heritage convict/colonial histories promoted in tourist Tasmania. The stories of the hunt for Aboriginal people are too close to home, too clearly connected with major landholding families to this day to be easily acknowledged outside of art.
