This is a video of each step in the process of making this pot, with music by The Orb, The Soggy Bottom Boys, Jello Biafra, and 10,000 Maniacs. I like documenting the process, but from now on I'm going to turn the pot a little faster.
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.

This is a slab pot with 57 spikes. I've used the skull face before in this clay mask.
