In Wear My Skin, Malizon seeks to bring into view and normalise skin imperfections. Photographs documenting her skin in its most delicate state are digitally printed onto soft, floaty silk garments, inverting the association of eczema with rough dryness and contesting cultural expectations that sufferers cover up what is often understood as an unsightly and embarrassing condition.
