Self-portraits by an artist who has a skin condition known as dermatographica and who embraces the changes her skin makes, exploring the concepts of fashion and beauty: "Ariana Page Russell turns to her own skin as both a canvas and as a source of adornments for her photographic series titled, Dressing. 'I have sensitive skin that easily flushes. In Dressing, I use the imagery of this temporary change as my medium via collages made from photographs of my skin. These collages show shades of sensitivity in reds and pinks made into patterns, then scanned and printed as temporary tattoos. I place the skin tattoos back on skin, adorning myself with a longer lasting, intentional blush. Rather than being frustrated by my skin's transparency, I claim it by dressing up in the crimson hues that reveal my vulnerability.'" Photographs by Ariana Page Russell. SIGNED BY RUSSELL on the colophon page; no inscription. From a first edition limited to 500 copies, this being #89. Unpaginated [24 pages]; 11 color plates + 1 tipped-in original C-print; 5.25 x 7.25 inches.…
