This pot was constructed by making coils of clay, flattening them, and attaching them around a base with slip. The result is a very sturdy pot, but the thickness is obviously not uniform. I've switched to a slab method for all future pots.
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.

Ten-Eyed Pot
This is a hand-built slab/coil pot with ten large molded eyes that wrap around the pot in a linear pattern.
