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.

Eduardo

Eduardo is a character from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. The title explains the concept well: a group home for entities dreamed into existence by children but later discarded when the child outgrows the need for imaginary friends, or for a variety of other reasons. Eduardo looks like a mutant biker minotaur, but the character is timid and childlike.



My aim was to copy the character model as closely as possible. I left off the tail and the little hairs on top of the head because I thought they wouldn't survive the kiln (and the perilous stage of being handled by various volunteer before being placed in the kiln). I thought the pinkish color of Eduardo's face could be described as lavender, but apparently lavender is more of a bluish color.
