Psoriasis II

White earthenware slip, applied to the surface of a low-temperature pink glaze, peels off a slip-cast earthenware ceramic apothecary jar. The peeling effect emulates the symptoms of a common skin disease, psoriasis. The jar is part of Tamsin's greater Medical Heirlooms series in which she explores the stigma around diseases and questions contemporary obsessions with perfection and beauty.
