I don't want it back, but the reward for any information leading to the current whereabouts of Cthulhu Madonna 2 is Cthulhu Madonna 3. N.B. Made up ransom information is also welcome.
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.

Cthulhu Madonna Missing
In May 2010, I left Cthulhu Madonna 2 behind a rocky outcropping off of a trail in Saguaro National Park West. In September 2011, I returned and visited the sculpture. In February 2012, someone emailed me a picture of the sculpture. I returned to the site yesterday and Cthulhu Madonna 2 was gone. I emailed the person who had sent me the photo, asking if she had adopted the sculpture, but she said she had left it for the next desert wanderer.
I don't want it back, but the reward for any information leading to the current whereabouts of Cthulhu Madonna 2 is Cthulhu Madonna 3. N.B. Made up ransom information is also welcome.
