I started a new series of satyrs. They're built thicker and the horns are attached in a more secure way.
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.

Satyr Brawlers
These are satyrs for Beyond the Crystal Cave. Most of them lost their horns. The one in the middle also became detached from his base. The faces are molded from a Jesus action figure and the bodies are from a minotaur eraser. I like the effect of not glazing the torsos and faces.
