It is a hot suspension of particles and gases flowing rapidly from a volcano driven by having a greater density than the surrounding atmosphere. New Zealand geologist Patrick Marshall derived the term 'ignimbrite' from "fiery rock dust cloud' (from the Latin igni- (fire) and imbri- (rain)), formed as the result of immense explosions of pyroclastic ash, lapilli and blocks flowing down the sides of volcanoes. Ignimbrites are made of a very poorly sorted mixture of volcanic ash (or tuff when lithified) and pumice lapilli, commonly with scattered lithic fragments. The ash is composed of glass shards and crystal fragments. Ignimbrites may be loose and unconsolidated or lithified (solidified) rock called lapilli-tuff. Proximal to the volcanic source, ignimbrites commonly contain thick accumulations of lithic blocks, and distally, many...

Untitled: From Ridiculous Portraits / Wilson, May., 1990

 Item
Identifier: CC-52464-73590
Scope and Contents Zoubek Internet: "A pioneer of the "Mail Art" movement of the 1950s and 1960s and a singular voice in the artistic landscape of Feminism, MAY WILSON (1905-1986) defied the accepted standards of the art world and of society, creating mixed-media works that explore the construction of gender and identity in both two and three dimensions. Born in Baltimore in 1905, Wilson's life as a suburban housewife seemed a likely fate. At the age of 42, however, she committed herself to the idea of becoming an artist, enrolling in correspondence classes in fine art and art history (anticipating the departure of her grown children). By promoting and selling her early efforts, Wilson was able to sustain a viable career as an artist.
