Like most of my cartoon figures, this one is open in the back to make balancing easier and exploding in the kiln less likely. Therefore, sadly, this Bender has no shiny metal ass to kiss.
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.

Bender
This is the latest in a series of cartoon figures. I like how it came out even though I think it looks less like Bender and more like a guy in a Bender suit.
