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.

Eye of Fear and Flame

Beholders are aberrant D&D monsters consisting of a spherical body, various eye stalks, a glaring central eye, sharp teeth, and a lust for chaos. Eye of Flame and Eye Tyrant are subspecies of beholders. Eye of Fear and Flame was a fairly generic undead creature, but I think the name should have been assigned to another beholder subspecies.





These Weird Clay Objects don't look much like beholders, but they justify me writing about Dungeons & Dragons aberrations, which makes me feel like life is worth living.
