WOW! Ariana Page takes the idea of modifying the body into new realms. Page has dermatographia, which is a condition in which her skin is hypersensitive. This causes painless and temporary welts that emerge when lightly stroked, scratched rubbed and sometimes even slapped. Russell uses her condition to create her artwork making patterns on different parts of her body and photographing them as the skin becomes irritated and swells. Her work is very unique and not something that is obtainable by many, please see below some images that show some examples.
When I first saw these images it made me wince a little and want to look away because what Russell creates looks painful, although in fact avoiding causing any pain. I think its amazing that Russell embraces her condition and is able to make these unique images.
