40 Acres of Bandaids (Every Shade of Bandaid for Sale Within 40 Acres of the African Burial Ground, NYC) by Suzanne Broughel


This is a wall sculpture made from bandaids on fabric. I did an "inventory" of every shade of bandaid for sale within forty acres of Manhattan's African Burial Ground. The result was 22 shades of light toned bandaids and one dark brown shade. The dark brown bandaids were Ebonaide brand bandaids - a discontinued product for dark skin tones that I found at a 99 Cent Store.
