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.

Small Normal Menorah
This is the first in a series of "normal" menorahs -- that is, menorahs without any overly weird decorations which might make them unsaleable to the general public. This one is 6.5 inches long, 5.5 inches tall, and 1.5 inches wide. It has a pattern from the skeleton of a cactus (probably a prickly pear).
