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.

Mako Root Objects
I found a figure of a white, ape-like creature called Mugato. I don't usually buy Star Trek objects and I hadn't seen the episode from the original series, but I couldn't resist this one. It came with several accessories. I learned from a collectors' website that this is a "mako root for Nona to cure Kirk with," but otherwise I would have had no idea what this thing was.
