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.

Bossk Dreidel

This is the second in a series of dreidels incorporating images/molds of the bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back. This one features Bossk the Tradoshan, seen very briefly glaring down at the disdainful Imperial officers in the film. The Hebrew letters have evolved into carved positive images instead of scratches on the surface of the clay. I'm still not happy with the gimel.
