"My interest in the Ned Kelly story dates back to my art school days in the 70s," says Deborah.

"I bought a Sydney Nolan screen print with the £100 my parents gave me for not smoking before I was 21. I was inspired to use Ned Kelly as a subject by the Peter Carey book True History of the Kelly Gang."
