Work No. 672; A Hundred Thousand Years

A Hundred Thousand Years
c. Michael St.Mark 2013

After Damien Hirst’s 1990 ” A Thousand Years”

Topical as reminder of the UK’s  own “Fukushima”, this completely man-made  ( or more accurately politician ambition-caused ) nuclear accident, the severity of which was covered-up at the time with, predictably, the workers who saved the day taking the rap.

Image; Reactor pile no 1 chimney still containing ten tons of melted uranium fuel from the Windscale ( now Sellafield) fire in 1957 that will remain highly radioactive beyond 1000 human generations.
