Finished Tiny Microscope
I have a new tardigrade project. I have a commission to make a tardigrade seated at a lab bench with a microscope and petri dishes. Tonight, I started to experiment with miniature microscopes and also made a new tardigrade, although these are not the microscopes and tardigrade I'll be using for the project.

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.
