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.

Kraken Tentacles, Batch 1
A future session of D&D Encounters has the brave adventurers fighting an enraged kraken that lives in the sewers of New Neverwinter. Actually they only fight its tentacles. After I made these four, I realized that the kraken tentacles are minions, meaning that they only have one hit point and, since I won't need to keep track of how many hit points they have left, they don't need to be easily differentiable from each other. The second batch is much more uniform.
