Finished version of Pelican Sculpture
Here is the sculpture with the source figure.
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.

Dollar Store Pelican Interpretation WIP
Janell and I made Christmas stockings for each other stuffed with the results of a $10 dollar store shopping spree. One of her gifts to me was a plastic figure with two pelicans. This is my clay interpretation of the pelican.
