This is the first in a series of ceramic finger puppets representing the Ten Plagues of Egypt from the Book of Exodus. It's the part in the Bible where Yahweh torments the people of Egypt with natural and unnatural horrors because of their leader's transgressions against His chosen people. Worst fictional character ever. Even more of a dick than Willy Loman.
The first plague concerns turning the waters of the Nile into blood, killing the fish and stinking up the place.
Ten Plagues finger puppets are not my original idea. They exist for the purpose of religious education and you can buy them online!

ceramicist 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.
This blog has served as a record of my ceramic output since 2006.
