Piece Four

My artwork is called "The Silent Sufferer" since several people are unfamiliar with the pangolin and how they are affected by poachers. For my ceramic, I placed the pangolin against a cheese grater with pills emerging from the holes. It signifies how pangolins are poached for their unique scales that are used in several Chinese medicines. My artwork uses the slab and double pinch pot techniques to create the pangolin and cheese grater as shown in the pictures.
