Lugo, Sergio – “The Universe Revealed” Tall Black Jar with Carved Feathers
$ 5,500.00
This is technically an amazing jar by Sergio Lugo. He is the middle son of noted potter Nancy Youngblood and a brother to Joseph Lugo and Christopher Youngblood. He learned to make pottery from his mother. Each piece is coil-built, carved or painted, stone polished, and traditionally fired. This piece is entitled, “The Universe Revealed”. The neck of the jar is perfeclty sanded and slipped with mica and then rag polished to a smooth finish. The top of the shoulder has reverse carved feather. The feathers stand out above the carved area. The base of the jar is fully polished and then etched with circles, representing the “universe”. The jar has a lid, which has reverse carved feathers on both side. Again, the feathers are polished. It is a visually striking jar with unexpected technical variations. It was traditionally fired to a silvery black coloration. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Sergio Lugo”.

Sergio Lugo is the middle son of noted potter Nancy Youngblood and a brother to Joseph Lugo and Christopher Youngblood. He learned to make pottery from his mother. Each piece is coil-built, carved or painted, stone polished, and traditionally fired. This piece combines nearly every technique, including carving, etching, painting, and polishing. The jar has a square shape with carved clouds at the rim and carved leaves at the base. They are stone polished to a high shine. The center of the jar is painted with clay slips to create the aspen trees. However, look closer, and the knots of the aspen trees are actually eyes! The piece was traditionally fired with a rich coloration. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Sergio Lugo”.
