Toledo Senior Lecturer Karen Roderick-Lingeman and Professor of Art Tom Lingeman, both of Perrysburg,
traveled to Washington, D.C. in June to deliver and install nearly 3000 ceramic bones made in Toledo to an
international art installation on the National Mall called "One Million Bones."Participants from
across the world contributed bone sculptures in an effort to raise awareness of the scale of the loss of
life in ongoing genocide and mass atrocities worldwide.Beginning last fall, Roderick-Lingeman worked with
her UT students in 3D Fundamentals of Form to create hundreds of ceramic bones. The campus community was
engaged during an afternoon of bone-making on Centennial Mall, in front of the Student Union, with her class
and with Adam Shiverdecker and his Ceramics I students.Also, Roderick-Lingeman and her students set up
on-site studios for members of the public to make bones during community events.From June 8-10, the bones,
made of ceramic or other biodegradable materials, were ceremonially installed by hundreds of volunteers
dressed all in white.
