An unusual and whimsical ceramic mud sculpture of a face with a slight smile. Dimensions: 9.75"h x 9.25"w x 5". In very good condition. Dulaney experimented with fashioning some pieces from cement but found that he much preferred the feel of natural clay to the harshness of concrete mix. He spent hours working on each piece, removing impurities, shaping the clay by hand, and ensuring that it did not dry too quickly. Dulaney died on 27 June 2001, leaving behind a body of fascinating art. His work is held in numerous private collections and in a variety of institutions, including the Mississippi Museum of Art and the Mississippi Department of Archives and History in Jackson; the Art Museum of Southeast Texas in Beaumont; and the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.
