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.

Cthulhu Religious Object #6
This Cthulhu Idol broke in several places in the kiln. It could have been tiny air pockets in the extremities or some other unforeseeable kiln accident, but I suspect someone dropped it. It's not one of my better Cthulhuines, so it's not a great loss. I glued the pieces back together and painted it with acrylics.
