DescriptionJanet Mullarney employed a wide range of materials in her sculptures, such as wood, plaster, papier maché, cloth and wax. In Untitled (1998) the figure wearing a papier-mâché donkey mask is unable to recline in the too-small bed. The carpet of blue sawdust is a reference to the Italian tradition of decorating streets with dyed sawdust for Corpus Christi.On View
