Aberrant Ceramics: Cat Head WIPs
Pages
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.

Cat Head WIPs
One of the other participants in the mold-making workshop had previously bought one of my pieces, the Pineapple Upside Down Chair Monster Object. She commissioned a cat head ornament similar to the one I was using in the mold. I'm taking a break from glazing to experiment with some cat heads.
That really doesn't look much like a cat, although the source image was some freakish hairless cat. I guess this is fine as the person who commissioned it said she was fine with an aberrant cat interpretation instead of a faithfully sculpted cat image.
