That little green spherical object was a part of the antenna, properly attached before it was left on the glaze shelf.
Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in the medium of stoneware clay for 21 years, developing a practice rooted in literal construction and obsessive repetition. He makes non-traditional ceramics in a medium built on tradition, exploring the overlap between wonder and revulsion. Subject matter includes sympathetic monsters, insects, opossums, fast food mascots, and Halloween kitsch.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.

Robot Goddess 2
Like the first one, the second Robot Goddess did not survive intact. The arm broke off in the bisque kiln. I was planning on reattaching it and painting it silver. The antennae came through the bisque kiln intact and were somehow broken off in either loading or unloading the glaze kiln. One of the antennae is still fused to the body, as can be seen below. This means someone fucked up, broke my work, and was too much of coward to leave me one of those "I'm sorry I broke your piece" notes. Fuck you, anonymous Robot Goddess mutilator!
