It was fantastic to work on this cover illustration for the Guardian Weekly Australia, the week that Albanese came into power. When asked to write a summary of the work for the printed edition, I responded:
‘Working in a predominantly editorial context, I have illustrated many pivotal moments in a constantly changing political landscape. Some of these moments have resulted in polarizing leadership and greater social division, whilst others carry the hope of a more positive future for a nation and the world as a whole. For Australia, it certainly seems that Albanese can offer the latter, and this illustration aims to capture a sense of that hope.’
