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.

Spiky Pot 3

This is my first attempt at functional pottery since about 2005 and it's not all that functional. I guess that makes this Spiky Pot dysfunctional pottery.




I also made a lid, but it doesn't really fit.




The view from above. You could theoretically put food in this without getting poisoned. (N.B. the Jade Green glaze on the eyes is not food-safe.) The glaze would also survive use in a microwave or dishwasher although the spikes might not.




Again, the lid, viewed from above:
