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.

Rotifer WIP

Finished version of Rotifer sculpture

At some point, I made a disparaging remark about rotifers, the tiny, multicellular animal lifeforms which were named for whirling, wheel-like cilia inside their transparent bodies, while attempting to promote my tardigrade sculptures.  Now, I attempt to make amends with a rotifer sculpture.  As I did this, I realized that I didn't have enough information to accurately portray the anatomy of these minute animals.  The organs are partly interpreted from a diagram and partly improvised.
