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.

Dumbo Octopus Sculpture: A Real Sea Critter?

I listed my Dumbo Octopus Sculpture on Etsy and, as a part of my far-reaching and well-thought-out marketing strategy, posted a picture of the Dumbo Octopus Sculpture with my cat Calvin on a Reddit forum entirely devoted to images of cats.


Someone posted a comment showing concern for the sea creature about to eaten alive by a cat.  I'm flattered that someone took my sculpture for a real octopus and it makes me happy to know that there are people like this brave individual looking out for the safety of the small and the slimy.
