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.

Large Phallic Pot

This is a slab pot 13.5 inches tall in the shape of an exaggerated human male organ of procreation. Just for reference, there is a whole phylum of marine worms called priapulids (meaning penis shaped) which have been around since the Cambrian period, many hundreds of millions of years before human beings and human male penises. The fruiting bodies of many kinds of fungi have also been known to use a similar shape.

This piece is intended for ritual use in modern fertility cults or as a container to hold cookies.
