“Bandaids Don’t Fix Bullet Holes” is a poignant and powerful abstract artwork that delves into the deep and often unseen wounds carried across generations. This mixed media piece employs a rich tapestry of textures and colours to convey the complex layers of emotional and psychological scars passed down through families. The canvas is dominated by dark, moody hues of deep greens, orange and line with textured brushstrokes intermingle with softer, almost soothing colour sections, symbolising the chaotic nature of inherited wounds juxtaposed with the gentle attempts at healing and understanding. Archival satin varnish sealer has been applied to this artwork to preserve the integrity of the pigments and materials.
