Aberrant Ceramics: Wererats, Part 2

/* Pinterest website claiming thingie */ /* That's it for the pinterest thingie */ Aberrant Ceramics: Wererats, Part 2

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.

Wererats, Part 2

A second team of Dead Rat Gang wererats has been completed.

This one is actually a part of the first team of wererats, but the figure broke in half in the kiln and had to be glued together. The face comes from a Pee-Wee Herman bobblehead. I think he's dressed like a Jedi.
