Scottish visual artist Craig Black, 35, has gained widespread recognition for his live performance art technique.

The Fusion Rules Exhibition specializes in artwork from various sports including AFL, cricket, rugby and basketball, attracting sports enthusiasts.

Mel recently revealed she was at the center of a strange incident with a cricket umpire which resulted in play having to be postponed at the 2023 Boxing Day Test.

The sports presenter was taking third referee Richard Illingworth from the MCG's underground car park when the lift malfunctioned, trapping her and eight other people and forcing her to use her phone to call for help.

The meeting after lunch was interrupted due to the scare. McLaughlin described what happened in the elevator as she joined her co-commentators Justin Langer and James Brayshaw afterwards.

'We [she and Illingworth] “We were talking for a little bit … and the doors opened and then closed and then stopped moving,” she said.

“He stood in the corner and asked, 'Do you have a phone?' Could you please call someone and let them know I'm in the elevator and I'm a little late?'

“So yeah, everyone got to work and we were released, I don't know, 10 minutes later. 'Sorry everyone!'

The game had to be postponed because the third referee – although he does not take up a seat on the field – sits in a broadcast booth and is responsible for making the final decision on dismissals, which are communicated to him by the two on-site referees.

They can also act as on-field referees in the event of injury or illness.
