Robert Cargo Folk Art Gallery

Dulaney's work is sometimes said to resemble pre-Columbian figures, but he clearly knew nothing of that art. A resident of a rural area of northern Mississippi (town of Fulton in Itawamba County), he always lived close by the log cabin where he was born. He dug mud at a local mud hole, created the clay works in his kitchen and on his porch, and left them to dry in the sun. Variations in color come from the different clays used over the years. The iron content in some clay causes slightly dark and sometimes almost black areas.

For more information, we highly recommend Terry Nowell's blog (Burgess Dulaney Mud Sculptures). As a collector and long-time friend of Dulaney, Nowell has a wealth of knowledge to share. The blog has wonderful photos of Dulaney and photos of works in Nowell's own extensive collection. In 2003, Nowell exhibited the collection at the Center of Contemporary Art in St. Louis in conjunction with a symposium he led at the annual Folk Art Society of America conference. For details, see the article in the Folk Art Society magazine.
