Aberrant Ceramics is the ceramic artwork of Aaron Nosheny. I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, primitive sculpture, hamsas, and a variety of other forms. My work celebrates and pushes the plasticity of the medium. The content of the work follows an inner landscape of biological obsessions, psychic damage, and bouncy cartoon animals.

Small Slab Menorah With Snakes and Eyes
This is a small (6.5 inches long, 5 inches tall) slab menorah with a pattern of snakes and eyes on it. I couldn't get the measurements of the slabs to come out right and ended up forcing them together instead of carefully fitting them, so it's a little irregular. It's colored with copper carbonate, which comes out green when applied lightly and a dull metallic gray when applied more heavily, with an off-white glaze on top of it.
