In this piece, McGoldrick captures the essence of a perfectly crafted lemon meringue slice made by Audrey Allard of Holy Sugar in Melbourne. With razor-sharp lines, the drawing is both a tribute to pastry craftsmanship and a playful confession of the artist’s sweet obsession. As McGoldrick writes, her fascination “honed into an all-out obsession” that led her on research-filled afternoons - equal parts tasting and inspiration.

The result is an indulgent visual treat: a hyper-real depiction of culinary delight that blurs the line between fine art and lived experience. Lemon Meringue is a warm invitation to savor life’s simple pleasures, rooted in nostalgia, hospitality, and genuine enjoyment.
