Burgess working on a sculpture at his house in Fulton Mississippi. This pic was taken around 1990. After gathering the mud from the creek side behind his house, Burgess would spend hours picking through the mud to remove any impurities such as gravel, pebbles, pine straw or other debris which might cause the piece to crack. He would them form the piece by hand and when finished, he would attend to it periodically assuring no cracks formed during the drying process.
