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.

Burgess Shale Fauna


I submitted six clay objects to a show called "No Deeper Blue" at the Straw House Gallery, somewhere south of Tucson. The text as I copied it reads: "An evening of artful prayer ... floor of the ancient ocean," with the ... standing in for where I can't read my own handwriting. The second phrase of that text definitely includes a lot of my work, particularly my Burgess Shale fauna period in 2004-2005.
