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.

Yochlol, Handmaiden of Lolth, Version 2

This is an interpretation of a handmaiden of the large-assed demon spider goddess Lolth.





Here is a back view of the object, also showcasing its awkward use as a finger puppet for that one special finger. It's hollow, but while I was making it, I was worried about the inside closing up and creating lethal air pockets, so I adorned the back side with some extra orifices, eyes, and teeth.
