Description: Simonds is well known for clay sculptures that document the wanderings of a fantastical civilization of Little People whose landscapes, architectures, and rituals have been imagined by the artist since the early 1970s. A wide range of his current sculptures-some architectural, some figural, and some evocative of landscape was installed in 2009 in various spaces at Dumbarton Oaks.
