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.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
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.

The White Chef
The White Chef is modeled on a plastic statue of a fat, mirthful chef which I bought in a dollar store in December 2012. The original figure was missing its right hand and, after some careful deliberation, I decided to make my version with a hand puppet where its right hand would be. The White Chef is the companion piece to The Red Chef, also based on a dollar store figure.
The face was left unglazed.
