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.
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,
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.
