Rarefaction (skin)
Artist:
Marissa Sirois
Scientist:
Matt Alexander
As an artist, I like to use various traditional media and techniques to create colorful, semi-realistic pieces that portray the world around me.
This summer I partnered with the Alexander Lab to create cover art for an upcoming paper. Their research has found that there is a recruitment of inflammatory regulatory T cells to the skin of hypertensive mice, which results in a loss of micro-blood vessels from the area.
Artist Statement:
A second iteration of my original piece includes the addition of a skin cross-section to the bottom, emphasizing the location of the microvascular rarefaction as the skin.
