I finally found the right size tardigrade and built the rest of the scene. The items on the lab bench are supposed to be a plate counter, Petri dishes, a microscope, and a pipette rack. The last one is especially a stretch, but they all came out fairly primitive and aberrant. I'm not sure if this one will survive the firing process. I'm not sure how I'm going to ship it. I'm not sure if this is what the customer wants, but I'm happy to have one iteration of the project finished.

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.
