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.

Unfired Ustigalor
Ever since I acquired the brain mold, I've been thinking of possible uses for it beside to make clay brains. The ustilagor is a brain-shaped D&D monster - a psionic, fungoid, larval creature that happens to look like a human brain. This is my interpretation. Ustilagor are supposed to have legs and be able to scurry across a room like a psionic, fungoid, larval mouse, but I knew any legs I could make would be unlikely to support the body, so I'm going to imagine it zooming across a room on a slug-like slime trail.
