Skin Complaint = Itchy Art

Date January 31, 2008

Artist Ariana Page Russell suffers from a skin complaint called Dermatographia. Dermatographia is a condition in which you develop red swollen ridges on the skin when it is stroked with a blunt instrument like a fingernail etc.
Not one to pass up a unique artistic opportunity, Ariana uses this condition to create patterns on her skin.
