So called because the central plate was given to me cracked and glued with 'Earthquake '89' written on the back. Intriguing! Since I live in the Hunter Valley, it obviously came from the local area and was damaged in the Newcastle earthquake. One imagines it bouncing off a sideboard and because it was so loved, it was repaired and the cause of the damage noted. So now it sits forever (?) preserved in an artwork ... until the next earthquake.
