I like the visceral effect of leaving the back open.

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.

Sleestak Column
The Sleestak are a species of reptilian/insectoid humanoid beings from the classic seventies Saturday morning TV show Land of the Lost. Land of the Lost involves the adventures of a family of three modern-day (that is, seventies modern-day) human beings trapped in a loop of space-time also occupied by various beings from diverse locations and eras. The Sleestak are brutal and primitive although they are descended from a civilized and highly evolved race.
