SURFACE TENSION 2016

Eczema

Noun

A medical condition in which patches of skin become rough and inflamed with blisters which cause itching and bleeding.

In this series Knight intends to show through self-portraiture the key moments from her own experience with eczema. She has created effects upon her body, which she uses like a canvas to show elements of the skin condition, alongside treatments she used to alleviate it. The overall resolve is to make what is normally considered unappealing into something beautiful by placing herself in theatrical, yet uncannily relatable situations.
