Magic Bullet (Spellcaster)

Magic Bullet (Spellcaster) plays with the idea of healer as sorcerer, and the interplay of traditional medicine and holistic healing. An ounce of prevention and an apple a day may keep the doctor away. It combines words and images of folk wisdom alongside the hopeful idea that research will eventually deliver the perfect cure. I found the disconcerting toy gun, decorated with a lucky rabbit, after selecting the title. I couldn’t resist including it.
