Description
This cup is of a 15th century woodcut “the devil’s assault on the dying man is a theme that pervades all [medieval] popular tradition.” (From Alfonso M. Do Nola, 1987.) I found it printed in Silvia Federici’s Caliban and the Witch, a key volume on history of women in the transition from feudalism to capitalism.
It makes me think of a dreamer confronting horrifying parts of their self in a nightmare…
The same print is on both sides of the cup, print technnique is cobalt lithography on clay.
Stoneware, dishwasher safe, 200ml in volume.
