This region is a historical and contemporary center for potters, and here the centuries-old ceramic traditions hold sway. As a child, Hussey lived near one of the oldest studios, Owens Pottery, which is still active today. Like many in the community, he made his first clay sculpture as a child, at the age of 10. While Hussey is very respected for honoring the artmaking practices of the past, he also has become quite well known for his whimsical and comical interpretations of familiar forms.This clay bank in the guise of a devil\u2019s face is a fine example of this Hussey trademark. Though devil faces on jugs are quite common\u2014most potters in the Seagrove area have made more than a few of them\u2014the devil face bank is not a traditional form. Hussey\u2019s bulbous clay container is embellished with a highly exaggerated nose that nearly enters the mouth. The pointy ears, bulging eyes, and groomed goatee serve to reinforce the humor in this caricature. Technically, the artist has employed two traditional decorative elements: the \u201ccoleslaw\u201d hair\u2014created using a nineteenth-century technique in which wet clay is squeezed through burlap\u2014around the horns and the heavy glazing under the eyelids, which creates the effect of tears, further separating this horned beast from any notion of evil.
