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.

Cthulhu Column and Cthulhu Atavism

Lovecraft was not a religious man, but he knew how to create a god who was really worth fearing. Not a Middle Eastern volcano god whose ego burned away the rest of his pantheon. Not a doomed hippie preaching to his chosen ethnic group. Cthulhu is a divine glorification of every fearsome unknown entity that may or may not be lurking in obscure corners of our planet or our universe.
