Aberrant Ceramics is the ceramic artwork of Aaron Nosheny.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, primitive sculpture, hamsas, and a variety of other forms. My work celebrates and pushes the plasticity of the medium. The content of the work follows an inner landscape of biological obsessions, psychic damage, and bouncy cartoon animals.

Nit Comb
This started out as a random piece of flattened clay from which I had cut some triangles and a circle. It looked like a Mutant Hamster Larva to me, so I fired and glazed it. It's since been pointed out to me that it would make a good nit comb - a comb for searching for louse eggs or nymphs on the scalps of elementary school students. My only regret is that I didn't have one of these back when I was a teacher.
