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.

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.
