Juices Jug (burning bush)

Ceramic

Hand-built ceramic jug glazed in baby pinks, corals, lavenders, turmeric, and electric yellow.  Drawings are carved into the jug revealing the dark brown clay beneath. A burning and flaming femme figure arches her back and flips her arms and ponytail over carved words in a horror movie font that read “OH GOD YES”. A diamond shaped doorway outlined by long bones bursts open with sharp rays. Two figures covered in eyes huddle together and raise a yellow bone ghost that rises to the jug mouth. Clay reliefs of chains, bats, bones, a single ear, and long finger nailed hands cradle the outside of the jug. There are lightning bolts, lavender shadow ghosts flying around in and out of the mouth, and a lip for pouring.
