I made a new one, but I like the original better, although it's not actually my original Warthog Column. It's #3. The first one was damaged when I moved into my apartment in May 2010.
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.

New Warthog/Old Warthog
Tonight I noticed that my Warthog Column that was in the studio gallery has a broken tusk. There are a lot of kids' classes right now and I automatically blame those little fuckers. It leaves me little choice but to go to the shelves with the children's work and break off a few random pieces.
