If you've spent any time around chickens, you may know that their heads are functionally two dimensional when viewed from the front.

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.

Rooster Pot
This is a 12 inch coil/slab pot with a rooster's head and tail. Most of the pot, lid, and tail are glazed with a red-brown glaze over a white glaze and the head is painted with acrylic paint.
