A Pair of Lungs.

Working on a few pieces for Thesis, first one is a carving with little to no work accomplished on it yet and the other is a pair of lungs and a slashed throat.
 The lungs and throat will hopefully be attached to each other after they get fired.  I really enjoy the slice right down the throat, originally I had the throat with four little pouch like features that reached the tubes to the lungs.  I really like how this organ shows damage and age.  I don't like the brand new, right out of the womb look. I assume that has something to do with the saying "those __  gives it character".

These are the lungs, secret balloons really help keep the structure.  These lungs will have some holes as well.  Along with the pair of clay lungs I also will have a smaller metal piece pounded into submission to resemble a bottom half to one of the lungs.  I also plan (when the welding shop opens) to make a bone cage for them.
