I used the same glaze combination ("Dry Matte Turquoise" over "Pussywillow") for Chamsa 89.
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.

Silverfish 1 and Chamsa 89
I had hoped this combination of glazes would come out as a slightly glittery, matte off-white, but it's definitely blue. I don't like this silverfish enough to be disappointed, but I'm going to look into other options for the second silverfish sculpture. This sculpture is twice the length of the source image, but the width is the same. It makes the legs and antennae look distorted.
