Finished Tardigrade #16
This piece is practice for my Tardigrade at a Lab Bench project. The good news is that it's possible to balance a seated tardigrade on a stool. The bad news is that I'm still making the tardigrades too large.
It suddenly occurs to me that it looks like tardigrade is sitting on a massive butt plug.

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.
