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.

Large Normal Menorah
This is the last and the largest of my series of normal menorahs. This one has a spiral pattern and a glossy blue glaze. It's 14 inches long, 8 inches tall, and 1.5 inches thick. So who wants a normal menorah? Hanukkah is just around the corner and you don't want anyone to think you're not normal, right?
The spiral pattern comes from the head of this Bride of Frankenstein candle. Hopefully this doesn't affect its normalcy.
