William Daley
Around January, 1983
Daley worked in stoneware using slabs and press molding to hand-build sculptural vessels such as this one. He left the work unglazed in an effort to emphasize the angularity of each piece. He burnished the surfaces to enhance the variations in the clay. He worked out the construction by making complex drawings for each architecturally detailed sculptural piece. Although function is not a primary consideration for this work, it is a vessel form. The end result is an object that twists the viewer’s perception of positive and negative space as well as the concept of inside and outside.
William Daley (1925 – 2022) was born in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. He graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a bachelor's degree in 1950, then went to study at Teachers College, Columbia University, graduating in 1952. He initially taught at state schools in Iowa and New York until he was hired at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia in 1957; he taught there until 1990.
