Skin Soothsayer
Hands twist, weave, pull and push. Fat, skin, muscle and fibre is manipulated throughout the body. Like a taffy puller the soothsayer weaves the flesh on bone hooks. The torso a canvas, a constant supply of putty for the artist.
Everything is found within the folds of skin. Riches, losses, battles, victories and tragedy. Compiled, archived and stored away in secret. The Skin Soothsayer creates a marketplace for those willing to learn everything.
The density, suppleness and skin tone are all used to tell the stars stories. Woven throughout the peel is the answer to unlock secrets. The apprentices write the skins fortune in blood red. The living destiny hung up on steel hooks. Row upon row of hanging human fortunes.
