Aberrant Ceramics is the ceramic artwork of Aaron Nosheny. I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, primitive sculpture, hamsas, and a variety of other forms. My work celebrates and pushes the plasticity of the medium. The content of the work follows an inner landscape of biological obsessions, psychic damage, and bouncy cartoon animals.

Fifteen-Eyed Pot
This pot was originally meant to be part of the Aberrant Meercat Pot. I meant for it to start out wide at the base, then get smaller, and then widen again, but it didn't look like the pot would support the weight of the sculpted head on top of it. I added a thick strip of clay to the narrow part, but I decided to make another pot with straight walls to use with the meercat sculpture. This is the reject. I covered it with a pattern of eyes and spent four hours glazing it. I like how it came out, but it's still a reject.
