In his own words Michael Bridges is “a ceramic artist whose work focuses on creating utilitarian objects that take inspiration from adolescent memories of growing up in rural Alabama. Some pieces reference the joys of exploring nature as a child—Owls, Opossums, Frogs etc.—while other imagery is drawn from my love for Horror and Science Fiction films. Both are equally important to me and ultimately create a unique language of intuitively chosen imagery.”

All of this makes total sense when you gaze upon this amazing Rooster Pitcher. Does it exist to help you neatly and stylishly pour your beverages? Or is its beak poised to attack your hand - or worse - at any given moment?

We can't be sure - only the winner knows ;)
