Mask [The Machine], earthenware, 1955
‘I
imagine the main elements of the face went together quite
quickly. Then a lot of attention was paid to the way things
are joined. Though we can easily identify the individual
parts (the notches in the side of the mask, the bumps across
the brow, a nose and a beard) there are no sharp angles
or distinct boundaries in between (much like a real face).
There really is just a single surface (or skin), shared
by all parts, made up of many small pieces of clay put in
place, one by one, by hand (or more correctly, by finger;
no tools have been used). This, I think, would describe many
Duldig clay sculptures.’
Stefan
Damschke, resident curator The Duldig Studio, sculptor and
former student of Karl Duldig.
Why do you think this piece is subtitled
‘The Machine’? What does this name suggest to
you? Do you think it is an appropriate title?
