Night Footy at the G


80 x 80cm.
Finished for real this time. I redid the sky and it looks more muted in reality. 
Made using Dad’s, Mum’s, Grandma’s, my own and op shop clothes with other bits and pieces from my stash.
It did occur to me that if I made the Geelong jumper into a St. Kilda one, the family history would come fully into play. Grandma, Mum and I were Essendon and the boys were St. Kilda.


Geelong is out front but Essendon has the ball!


Dad’s jeans, jocks (not worn more than once or twice) and t-shirts, mine and Mum’s undies too ha ha ha! Only the decent bits of course. And Grandma’s green dress and purple jumpsuit.
I don’t know where to put it really. It doesn’t fit with the house, I just liked the drawing done by Paul Constance at work and wanted to make it.


If you look closely at the mix of fabrics used, you can see it’s possible to use anything.
