Skin Conditions as Art - Dermatographia Canvas (GALLERY)
Dermatographia Canvas
 Published: Apr 1, 08

This young woman has a rare skin condition known as dermatographia. This is an immune system skin hypersensitivity that releases histamine which is the chemical (neuro-transmitter) your body produces when you’re having an allergic reaction. High levels of histamine cause this woman’s blood vessels to dilate and make the vessel walls abnormally permeable and this causes the welts to appear. The welts reportedly last for 30 minutes, giving the young woman time to draw various patterns on her body and then take pictures of the drawings.

 

 

 Ariana Page is a very…unique artist, due to the fact that she suffers from a condition known as dermatographia (the immune system exhibits hypersensitivity, via skin, that releases excessive amounts of histamine, causing capillaries to dilate and welts to appear (lasting about thirty minutes) when the skin’s surface is lightly scratched). She draws various patterns on her body and then takes pictures of herself, thus works of art are born. (odditycentral)
