[sil-i-koh-sis] Also known as Potter's Rot, is a form of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of crystallinesilica dust, and marked by inflammation and scarring in forms of nodular lesions in the upper lobes of the lungs.
During Winter Quarter 2011, our Advanced Ceramics studio organized a show, Smells Like Silicosis, in the 840 Gallery at DAAP. The piece I had made for the show was a expansion on an all bronze foundry spot piece from Autumn Quarter. I added in slip-cast forms that were a mixture of yellow died slip and glossy glazed chocolate brown. The final piece ended up being around 48"x 2"x 30".
There's also some pics of in-process mold work for the final piece!
