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.

Aberrant Giraffe Pot
I modeled this sculptural pot after a piece that I made in 2010. It was one of my favorite pieces at the time and was badly damaged when a shelf collapsed. It came out like some kind of unnatural human were-giraffe, hence the name: Aberrant Giraffe Pot. The functional part of this piece is a hand-built coil/slab pot.
