I've been waiting for this piece to get finished for a long time. I'm pleased that I was finally able to recreate the clunky robot feet of the Kenner figure. I was making the IG-88 dreidel at the same time and the statue's feet have Hebrew letters on them (you can see the shin sides in the picture). My only complaint is that the statue's feet aren't exactly level and it wobbles as though it were Bender instead of IG-88.
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.

IG-88 Statue
