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.

Metachamsas Set 4

I spent a lot of time world building when I was a child, sometimes in the context of games like Dungeons & Dragons, but more often by myself, in my head and on paper. I like the shape of these objects formed from the outline of a "chamsa" hand because they resemble a character from one of these worlds. The black glaze came out matte instead of glossy. I thought it might have been due to an error in kiln temperature so I had them glaze fired again, but they came out the same. I'm guessing the glaze was contaminated.

This group of numbered metachamsas were intended to be part of a clock.






This group includes a few rejects from the clock metachamsas as well as various other experiments.
