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.

End of Time
These are the fully glazed miniatures for my D&D character called End of Time. The name comes from the pyramid-headed South American shaman from Fierce Invalids Home from Warm Climates by Tom Robbins. The character is a deva shaman and his spirit companion is a parasitic conjoined twin. End of Time reincarnated with a twisted, hideously deformed version of himself attached to the back of his skull and knew that he must have committed some epic atrocities in his last incarnation.
