I started another slab menorah with more elaborate butterfly wings. The slabs were still a little moist while putting it together so it may not turn out as sturdy.
This is a spare winged IG-88 that got fired along with the chamsa scraps.
Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
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.

Winged IG-88 Menorah
A few years I made a menorah with molds of IG-88 on the front. IG-88 is the assassin droid from The Empire Strikes Back. This menorah has only one image of IG-88, but it has wings. The menorah itself is made from flat slabs of clay, so it's much lighter than my other menorahs. There is also a very subtle pattern scratched in the clay on the front, but it didn't come out because the glaze is too thick.
I started another slab menorah with more elaborate butterfly wings. The slabs were still a little moist while putting it together so it may not turn out as sturdy.
