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.

"Bob" Update
"Bob" didn't make it through the bisque kiln entirely intact. The entire face became detached from the background and the lower part of the face became detached from the upper part. I glazed it anyway, hoping that the glaze will be able to hold the piece together. Sometimes that works. Note that the colors of the applied glaze do not accurately represent the colors after it goes through the glaze kiln.
