This is a painting in progress with the scars of 48 kidney donors from a Facebook page I’m on. I asked if they would tell me if their scars are vertical, horizontal or laparoscopic, and how many they have, so I could make a painting about it. My interpretation of what their scars look like have been drawn (painted) on monoprinted and painted fabric and I've stitched holes over the red paint because the fabric is thick and difficult to sew through, and I've started the hand stitching.
When I shared these photos with the Facebook group a week after asking about scars, a few more people told me about theirs, so it it likely that I will be adding at least one more row of 6 scars. Stay tuned.
