The first magical spread of clay figures appears on a raised white platform, not quite eye level: common birds, fish, snakes and several characteristic skulls with tin foil lined eye sockets and real human teeth pressed into the mouth. It all seems to come from his immediate world where as a child he would hunt and fish in Leland, Mississippi.
As an adult, he worked as a grave -digger for a little over ten years. Son Ford claimed that the first skull he made at age 10, was intended to scare his grandfather coming home late at night to a candle lit home.
My favorite part of the exhibit is a room filled
with sculpted portraits. From his own account, they are all made up people with
the exception of a few George Washington and Abe Lincolns, which Son Ford made
because they sold. The George Washington’s, with their upholstery cotton hair
and red painted faces, happen also to perfectly reference America’s history of
slavery and the punishing cotton plantations.
As one walks around the room with these portraits almost looking at you,
it’s hard not to smile. The hair both human and wig is stapled or pressed into
the heads with deliberate style: heavy eyebrows, goatee jutting out around a
big mouth of human teeth or dentures, wavy curls with oversized aviator glasses
nested. The eyes are often marbles painted in different hues, with a depth that
transcends its matte paint. There are
also a few little figurines of men in daily life and death, sitting on a log
after chopping wood, playing music, or laying in open coffins.
The Devil and His Blues is a gem of an exhibit of
whose shine lingers in one’s head like a great song. Let your spirits be
lifted.
80WSE is located on 80 Washington Square East. The exhibit closes August 7.
