The Swallowing Plates: Objects Swallowed and Recovered from the Human Body

Last month, LAist went shopping at Cipher Gallery on Fairfax. Taking a closer look, these plates by San Francisco based artist Lisa Wood show "fictionalized case studies based on [world leading Laryngologist Chevalier Jackson's] pioneering work recovering objects from his patients' gullets and windpipes." Whoa, careful what you eat there.
