David Rowe
In an image that evokes both fragility and hope, David Rowe suggests that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was someone with a strong emotional and moral investment in the outcome of the Voice referendum.
JUDGE’S COMMENT
Rowe captures the zeitgeist each and every day without fear or favour. Rowe’s drawings are brilliant in that they immediately speak to you with a message but also have so much going on that they warrant a longer look.
