Aberrant Ceramics: tardigrade

/* Pinterest website claiming thingie */ /* That's it for the pinterest thingie */ Aberrant Ceramics: tardigrade

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 since 2004, 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.

Tardigrade Face Object

This was practice for carving tardigrade faces on the mugs.

This is the second of the two Tardigrade Tiki mugs, with a larger face and carved claws.

This is a tall slab mug without a handle for drinking rum concoctions. The tardigrade face is carved and the claws are attached coils of clay.

Laboratory Tardigrade

I sold a tardigrade on Etsy a few months ago and the buyer asked me to make a tardigrade seated at a lab bench with a microscope, Petri dishes, and a plate reader. The processes of drying, bisque firing, and glaze firing have taken about two months.
