The works focus on Broken Hill in outback NSW, where silver, lead and zinc has been mined since 'discovery' in 1883. The ore body, known as the Line of Lode, was claimed in multiple mining leases, one of which is named the Lady Louise Suite. The mining generated great wealth and was the origin of BHP, but the legacy also includes lead dust and lost lives, dispossession and environmental damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eThe Remains of Lady Louise uses slag (mining waste) as the central decorative stone.
