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.

Self-taught artist on the autism spectrum. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, horror comedy, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – and all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme. I feel like I'm frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can.

Tardigrade 4

The interdimensional youth craze for the adorable and vacuum-resistant water bears has resulted in the sales and departure of my previous three tardigrades.  Here is #4.  I made flat, clawed feet more similar to mammalian bear feet than real water bear feet, hoping that they wouldn't break off in the kiln.  The feet on the caudal segment lost a few toes, but otherwise I like how it came out.
