Artwork location: Sweden
In my work, I am interested in caring for and nurturing others. My tiny hand-painted landscapes in vintage medicine tins become portals to other parts of the world. Drawing from the restorative aspects of nature, they are created as “medicinal" paintings, offering relief in times of deep distress. Particularly interested in aiding people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I am exploring the question, “If what someone has seen can break a person, can an image be a part of their healing?". Over the years these have been given to people, as a pharmacist fills a prescription.
The minuscule size of the paintings requires one's concentration. By inserting the pastoral landscape into its tiny metal case, these restorative images can be brought anywhere in one's pocket and taken out as needed, becoming portals to other parts of the world. The presence of brushstrokes, the paint edging up the sides of the container like a salve, reminds them of the human that lovingly formed the image for them, for such a time as this.
Images speak to us in ways that words can't. It's hard to just tell someone experiencing brokenness/loss/grief that it'll get better. So many things fall short of providing comfort, and most of the time, we don't even know a hint of the loss someone is experiencing. How can you help heal someone that has never even spoken of their pain? I think that art is a way to provide comfort and to meet people where they're at. I can't control their circumstances, but I can present them with an image.
