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, 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.

IG-88 Statue
