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.

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.
