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.

Brain with copper glaze:
The inside of this brain came out a different metallic color:

These are the objects taking up space on my closet shelf at present:
The coil pot experimentation continues.
Someone bought the last of my cat columns. I intended to make another one and came up with this thing instead.

Baby-Eater Pot
This is a mug-sized coil pot with wonderfully deformed baby-face molds in the mouth and around the outside.
