“Healing Together” Mural in Queanbeyan NSW

Written By BOHIE

 In response to the theme of “COVID-19”, my artwork design features the words “HEALING TOGETHER” with the leaves of an Echinacea plant, which are medicinally used to shorted the duration of a cold and flu. An unbroken pure white line winds around both the lettering and the plant, wrapping it all together in a visual message that promotes togetherness and support. The type treatment is synonymous with the plant, they are inextricably linked together in an illusion of synchronicity - the eye cannot grasp which is in the foreground and which in the background, enforcing the message of togetherness, support, healing and care.

Find this mural on Crawford Street, Queanbeyan. Assisted by Mimi Fairall. Commissioned by Queanbeyan Palarang Regional Council.

Based in Braidwood, NSW, BOHIE creates art, illustration, public space murals, and creative workshopping experiences that explore wonder and connection to each other and to the natural world.

She works alongside educational institutions, government agencies, community focus groups and stewards of the natural world to design change-making campaigns for each creative project. Bohie utilises a research-based methodology to find inspiration for her artworks, resulting in 2D images which are laden with deeper stories and symbolic meaning.

This narrative driven conceptual development injects her unique authenticity and grass-roots integrity into the public arena, which she sees as a conscious challenge to public advertising. In a time of rapid change, extreme instability and a globally recognised feeling of imminent threat, Bohie’s art provides messages of hope and empowerment for a changed future.
