Here are the Christmas ornament and illustration from D'aulaires' Book of Greek Myths that were the models for this idol.
Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
Self-taught artist on the autism spectrum. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, horror comedy, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – and all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme. I’m just frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can until I’m no longer able to do so.

Eris Idol 1
I had an idea to make idols of Eris, the Greek goddess of chaos, similar to the primitive Cthulhu idols I had been making. Since Eris is a deity of human appearance rather than an octopoid monstrosity, this came out even cruder than I was expecting. It looks ridiculous and I think that's appropriate. The reason for the hair color is that I once had a dream of Eris with blue hair.
