View the finished Medium Normal Menorah here.
This is the first in a series of "normal" menorahs. By normal, I mean no baby heads, no trilobites, and no mutated Star Wars references, just nice, non-threatening geometrical patterns such as this pattern of concentric circles made by pressing a doily into the clay. Nothing exudes normalcy like a doily.

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.
