This large-scale ceramic sculpture depicts a roughly-formed head with exaggerated features. Standing several feet tall on a white pedestal, the piece is executed in a raw, expressionistic style with visible tool marks and an unrefined surface texture. The sculpture combines various flesh tones - cream, peach, and pink - with streaks of black and gray that create a weathered, almost decaying appearance. Deep hollows form the eyes, while the mouth is rendered as a prominent opening with thick, defined lips. The overall surface appears to be intentionally distressed, with cracks, crevices, and uneven coloring that gives the piece a visceral, organic quality. The title "crude figure 1" aptly describes both the rough execution and primal emotional impact of the work. Abstract paintings visible in the gallery background echo the sculpture's color palette of flesh tones and dark accents.
