Artist statement:

I chose to do a series of Prime Ministers of Australia to highlight the absence of female representation in leadership in our country. To emphasize this, I used line and repetition to create the detail in each portrait especially the facial expressions. I explored Australian identity and how it is shaped by our leaders. I wanted each face to also resemble the pattens of a fingerprint to reflect the mark/print each leader has made on our country.
