My final work explores the concept of unison through sport. My intention was to convey feelings and emotions felt in both victory and loss. I illustrated the close relationship of team-mates and the sense of brotherhood, influenced by sporting events held in Melbourne, including the Commonwealth Games. The numerical aspects of sport – betting, scores and statistics – were expressed through printing on paper using an ink-dissolving citrus solvent method.
