The inspiration behind this piece was smallpox. Most of the deformities and diseases I come across don't really bother me. Although, when I came to smallpox I think I gagged. The texture of it is what gets me. I wanted to recreate this texture and make it the focal point. Rings are usually made pretty. You generally want to show it off to your friends. That is why I made this disease into a ring. I wanted to make it seem prettier than it is. I could not get rid of the texture though. I had to make that bumpy and goopy looking.
