Migraine: Mind - Body and Art c/o Kustaa Saksi

"A migraine, says Kustaa Saksi, is like an unexpected visit from an irritating old friend. A sudden attack upends your plans; causes havoc; you never know when it will leave. 

The 48-year-old Finnish textile artist has lived with these repetitive, immobilising headaches and their accompanying visual disturbances — ranging from partial blind spots to borderline hallucinations — since childhood. 

'It usually happens on the side of my eye, then it’s like a sun, travelling from east to west,' he says. 'At one point it will take over my whole vision, then it vanishes.'"
