The small object pictured with Purple Worm 2 is a Free-Standing Duck Head, which was spontaneously constructed (rare for me) while discussing a dire work situation.
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.

Unfired Purple Worm 2 and Free-Standing Duck Head
My first purple worm lost the stinger off its tail. I resisted the urge to destroy it. I'm using the damaged original as a glaze test and made a new one last night.
