The Wait (2022) is my immediate film response to uncovering a carbon copy of a letter from the Director of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Alexander Morton, in 1899 expressing his intent desire to exhume and obtain the skeleton of an Aboriginal woman buried near Latrobe, Tasmania. My Ancestors are the only known Aboriginal people to have lived in that region in that period. They were buried next to the Paranaple (Mersey River) near Latrobe. I work at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. I have not been able to locate any further correspondence. So I wait.
