Clayton Bailey Small Breasted Nitepot, painted Earthenware, 1965
In 1964 and 1965, Bailey made a series of painted clay Nitepots and Urinals. The nitepots often have puckered red lips and small pink breasts that titillate and frustrate the user by causing erotic stimulation. One is invited to urinate into the mouth of the pot, but at the same time, the pot is designed to arouse the user with its lips and breasts. The joke is that it is difficult to urinate while sexually aroused. |
