Makeup Rash © Kathryn Kmet

This image had become the result of my corset photographs. It relates in a way that I am observing the way our body reacts to what we purposely do to it. This image for instance is of my eye after excessive use of old makeup. It has happened when I was a child and it sprouted up not too long ago. I am interested in how our bodies tell us to stop doing something but we don't usually listen. My other images from this were of my scared feet from my horrible shoes, and the bloody marks on my brow after a good plucking.

I start with myself to understand our culture. I am interested more on the extremes women and men alike do day to day.
