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.
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.

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.
