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.

An All New Aboleth
I'm not sure what exactly those strange protuberances on the front of the aboleth's head are supposed to be, but I think that in this case they make it look like the chubby kid with glasses that Gary Larson frequently drew in The Far Side (although I can't find an image of him using Google Images unfortunately).
