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.

Mouth Molds, Part 1

I thought my pots could use some mouths in addition to all these eyes.  I've been wondering what other recognizable body parts I could make as molds.

These are toothy, monstrous mouths:



This one is modeled on Patricia Quinn's lips in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  It came out backwards and I couldn't figure how to make it look like the teeth were erotically biting the lips.  Also, there is too much space between the teeth and lips.  I've already made a second attempt at this one.
