Aberrant Ceramics is the ceramic artwork of Aaron Nosheny. I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, primitive sculpture, hamsas, and a variety of other forms. My work celebrates and pushes the plasticity of the medium. The content of the work follows an inner landscape of biological obsessions, psychic damage, and bouncy cartoon animals.

Lamprey Mug
This is another attempt to make a coil pot, in this case a coil mug. I like how the mug itself came out, but it took a long time. After several hours, I had the options to leave the pot unadorned, to save the decoration for another day, or to make a grotesque face quickly and then go home to bed. I chose the last option because the mug felt naked without a face and because I'm accustomed to finishing a piece in one sitting. I think the lamprey face is too simplistic and not interesting enough.
