Artist: Sarah Moller
Artist’s statement: Footy: a game where an unlikely mix of individuals come together for a few hours to communally experience elation, desperation, jubilation and desolation. At the end, half go home happy, while the other half leave cheated, disappointed, glum. In creating this art room, I have sought to capture the energy, movement and excitement of a Showdown at the Adelaide Oval. Focusing on the crowd, the players and the iconic setting, I hope to transport guests to the roaring clamour, tension and emotion of the desperate fight to the final siren.
