Notes
Shown Gallery 52, 1981. "The print was based on the play on words about I miss Australia or I am Miss Australia, with the arm band around my arm (aged 22). I was inspired by one of the 14th century italian portraits in the National Gallery with blue cross-hatching around the profile. I turned this into the shape of Australia".
