While the bandage use awaits an answer, an Internet detour focusses on old & early Tattoos relating to HEART & LOVE symbols (both being significant images during the past month) although there are just as many with various pieces of WEAPONRY included. With knives & daggers now included (for anger links to cut - thrust - jab - chop), further ideas quickly get drawn in a heart.
These sketches propel me further along: Anger often displays itself as a "weapon" - it can be verbally cutting as well as making physical cuts … but now another QUESTION? ... is not the so-called “knife culture" created by anger? … & what of religious & cultural clashes, can that not be included too? Playing around with some more words & sketches, suddenly one starts to "make sense".
It shows a heart dissected by 2 swords that cut with some simple emotive words & happy with this idea, visualises completed as a metal structure but because of a more religious feel, decide on another design, paint it & hope it will redirect me to textiles!
But no ... it is definitely a metal 3D structure & as I’m not working in metal, have to give it a miss!
