Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny,
ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.

I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.

I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.

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.

Teach Me About Insects (Silverfish WIP)

Finished Silverfish 1 Sculpture

I found some lovely insect flashcards from the early 60s in a thrift store.  They have nice, detailed drawings and for my first clay interpretation, I chose the silverfish.  Not as intrusive as a cockroach, but you're never alone when there's a silverfish afoot.
