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.

The New Currency

I noticed that some of my other small clay objects looked like coins, so I decided to make some that were intentionally coins. The original idea was to put currency amounts on them, hence the 10€ inscription on this one, but I found that writing non sequiturs was more satisfying. The face on this one is sampled from Sara's sculpture.




That's Pee-Wee Herman's face and it says "PENIS." No offense to Paul Reubens. I think he's a genius.





This one uses a skull face from a Halloween decoration and the inscription says "In God We Thrust."




This coin uses the Cy-Gor face again and it says "I Ain't Evolved From No Monkey."
