Rascist Band Aid Series
2001
five canvases 30” x 40”

Travis Lee was putting on a Band-Aid one day after a small accident and was paying attention to how the color of the Band-Aid did not match
his hand. “I thought about Band-Aids covering up blemishes but on a person with a dark skin tone the blemish would stick out.” After some
research Travis Lee found out that Band-Aids were invented in the early 1900’s . The Band-Aid color is symbolic of racial equality in the world, for now, Band Aid makes different color and clear band-aids.

The process of coming up with this idea illustrates that ideas can come from any source, if looked at in the right light.
