Aberrant Ceramics: New Cthulhu Religious Objects, Part 2

/* Pinterest website claiming thingie */ /* That's it for the pinterest thingie */ Aberrant Ceramics: New Cthulhu Religious Objects, Part 2

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.

New Cthulhu Religious Objects, Part 2

These are Cthulhu Idols 4 and 5 from my second set of Cthulhu Religious Objects. There is one more, but it lost a few extremities. I glued them back on and I'm going to paint it with acrylic paints.

Cthulhu Idol #4

My other recent Cthulhu figures have had outlines for eyes, but no details. This one has slightly more detailed eyes and I think it gives it a lot more personality. It also looks a little cartoonish and I'm guessing that your average Cthulhu cultist might prefer something a little more crude and disturbing, but nevertheless I think this is the template I was looking for.
