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.

Figrin D'an & the Modal Nodes WIP

View the finished version of Figrin D'an & the Modal Nodes

I was feeling intimidated by the Bith facial folds, but they weren't as complicated as I was expecting.  These are wall hangings depicting the all-Bith band from A New Hope known as Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes.  Many reference sources count five Bith in the band, but this amazing website counts seven.  Nevertheless, I'm going with five.  I'm also planning on making flat clay pieces of the instruments.
