Finished H.P. Lovecraft Head
I've been meaning to make some object - wall hanging, sculpture, pot with the face of H.P. Lovecraft. I can never get noses to come out right. They must have covered noses the week I was absent from art school due to the chicken pox. This is unfortunate since, other than the bad nose, it's otherwise a perfect likeness of the writer of weird fiction from Rhode Island.

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.
