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.

Lemurs and Clowns

Recently I looked at some work from 2009. I wanted to try the lemur and evil clown flat hanging sculptures again.




The lemur came out a little rough the first time. After two attempts to recreate it tonight, I like the rough original better. We also no longer have the glaze used for the golden highlights.




It's hard to see in the photo, but the original clown (based on Bart's scary clown bed from The Simpsons episode "Lisa's First Word") got somewhat warped as it dried and doesn't lay flat.




Four small chamsas. It was a productive Saturday night at the studio.
