YAY IT'S #PortfolioDay !

I'm a multi-disciplinary designer out of work due to #LongCovid. Recently I have been visualizing and raising understanding of post-viral illness with my project ILLMARKS.

🖼️ I'm looking for places to exhibit them, including: #galleries , #museums , & #medical facilities. I also welcome any #journalists who wish to share!

🙏 Other ways to support:
1. Follow & boost @illmarks or https://www.illmarks.com/

Collage of six different bookmarks, each printed on manila paper and labeled "Coordination" with a human outline. Ink has been added to each of them, conveying different long covid symptoms, including GI trouble, muscle pain, itchiness, burning, and others.

The same manila bookmarks, each depicting a different symtpom: blood pooling in the extremities, where veins/arteries are drawn getting thicker at the hands and feet, dehydration, where a figure made of mudcrack is standing in the rain and a pool of water but unable to catch them, congestion, where a mucus covers the face, body, and hands, temperature dysregulation, slowed reaction time, and shortness of breath.

Six more bookmarks, showing Fatigue: where a sekelton is adorned with metal ball & chains, a Recovery Day that looks anything but pleasant, an ER trip with explosive GI pain, shaking and itching from going to the grocery store, blood pooling from inability to sleep, and the post-ER exhaustion and swelling of the large intestine, labeled "textbook colitis."

Photo of dozens and dozens of these bookmarks spread out on the floor depicting months of long covid symptoms and bodily experiences.
