Red Van Dyke Vase 10"

Every piece begins as a ball of clay. Aarons feels strongly about making his works by hand, one at a time. The labor and natural slowness of the process add nuance to each piece by ensuring that no two works are identical. Repetition of shape and texture is key to the ease of using an object, but as each is made individually, it stands as an individual.

"My ceramic objects are intended to add dynamics and energy to our surroundings. Each is an item to interact and live with. Earthenware is an ideal clay body for achieving a balance of function, form, and color, which I explore to its fullest."
