This sculpture was damaged in several areas, probably while being transferred from the shelf into the kiln. It lost an eyelash, a tooth, and a rim of one of the nested cups that make up the column, as indicated by the arrows in the images below.   | ||
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.

New Cat Column
This is a new cat column sculpture to replace the last one which lost an ear.
