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.

Horned Devotion Cup 1
I recently sold a sculpture called the Horned Devotion. The buyer said she was using it as a ring holder, which never would have occurred to me. I was intending to make another, similar sculpture and produced a series of cups instead. This is the first one. The molds on the side come from resin Halloween decorations.
