Ariana Page Russell

Hey everyone. I got a new computer. Whoo-hoo!

Ms. Russell is an artist who utilizes a fairly common (in this day and age) medium, namely, skin. What is unique regarding her approach to the subject is that she has dermatographia, where the skin is extremely sensitive to even the subtlest touch. It becomes inflamed at the touch of even really dull objects. Usually the symptoms only persist for 30 minutes or so, which is more than enough time to take a couple photos:

You can see some more photos at her website here.
