Dark Iron Stoneware, underglaze, oil paint

22”h x 12.5”w x 16”d

For animator Bessie Mae Kelley’s character of Milton Mouse—taken freely by Walt Disney in the 1920s, as Kelley was written out of animation history. What the character stands for now is what is in question. Momento mori–remember that all things die.

Shown at the Farenheit 2024 exhibit at the American Museum of Ceramic Art.
