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.

Spiral Menorah 3
This is my third spiral menorah. The first one had a glaze anomaly and turned out very poorly when I attempted the reglaze it. The second one fell and broke before I had the chance to bisque fire it. This one is my first regulation menorah, with all of the candle holders except the one for the shamas at the same height.
