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.

Chamsa 106

I like the effect of the cobalt oxide with an off-white glaze on top of it better than our "Floating Blue" glaze.  The design is borrowed from a chamsa found online.  I've seen it used as clip art in several places and I don't know who designed it.


This is the original image.  I left off the fish and the Hebrew (mazel, luck).
