Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny,
ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.

I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.

Self-taught artist on the autism spectrum. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, horror comedy, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – and all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme. I feel like I'm frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can.

Lemure Figure

I made a flat lemure face, but I wanted the opportunity to portray the melty goodness of the AD&D lemure in clay, so I also made a full-body figure of this crappiest devil.

The word lemure comes from Latin lemur, meaning "shades or spirits of the restless or malignant dead." The D&D usage looks like the incorrect singular of the plural lemures. It's also the origin of the name of the taxon of the unusual primates of Madagascar.
