Diagnosis: Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
After self-diagnosing, I got an official diagnosis. The victory of the official diagnosis was upstaged by the foot trauma two days previously, which I now know is a broken bone. However, at lest it’s in the same limb as all my other orthopedic trauma and severe arthritis. That’s really my saving grace right now — it’s a familiar injury. Adding another new mystery set of symptoms would be less welcome than rehatching an old burden.
Anyway, back to the art. I love some of the light interactive properties here that are hard to capture in a scan so:
Reflective properties close up, gold paint in the eyes, green metallic reflection for the dark around and in the eyes. The shimmer (ultra fine glittering particles) in the green ink are vibrant blue, and in the blue zebra stripes are color shifting, right now a rose.
Metallic version of the hardware in my leg — I looked at my own x-rays for reference!
Final close up.
