Finished Burro Brush Menorah
I had planned five more theoretically salable menorahs with geometrical patterns or imprints of plants. This is the last of the five and, although I did sell one normal menorah on Etsy, I'm ready to go back to aberrant art for a while. This menorah uses the imprint of a shrub that grows in and near the Rillito river bed in Tucson.
I haven't identified the plant yet. It looks and smells a little like dill.

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.
