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.

Towelie

Here is Towelie, the cybernetic anthropomorphic stoner towel anti-hero from South Park. I originally had him painted a darker blue, but I watched the episode again and decided he needed a lighter blue to retain the sense of being just a regular worn towel that happened to walk and talk and get high. This blue is called "pool blue" and I'm still not entirely happy with the color.








I don't know how to make a realistic lighter.
