Mostly white with black ceramic sculpture of a limbless torso or body with mask-like face.Context
Pitchford-Jolly’s Mud Peoples series (which was also the name of her studio space in Chicago), was developed out of her playing with Mississippi mud as a child and later making conceptual linkages between the people of the South, her ancestors, and the land. As the artist once described of telling the stories of her ancestors, “we are all connected to something important. I put scraps together to make a voice. You know, we’re not whole people. We’re really scraps put together.”Acquisition
