Charlotte LakeThe ‘itchy, scratchy, rashy’ zine is an exploration of the skin condition, eczema. This has been a chronic aspect of my life since I was a child and has largely ruled my life. This project is my opportunity to gain control and process my feelings through art by creating a concertina book that illustrates my daily routine with the disease. The aim of this is not only to show to myself that eczema is not the heroic battle I feel as if I lose every once in a while, but to show how it can be conquered on a daily basis. The book is to document my experience of working with eczema and not against it, in the hopes of reconciling with eczema sufferers and individuals who want to learn about the topic. ‘Itchy, scratchy, rashy’ will also be available in limited quantities on the Tea Cup Press shop and in zine libraries.
