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.

Twelve-Eyed Pot
This is my most recent eye pot. It's 5.5 inches in diameter, 5.5 inches tall, and has 12 jade green eyes. I don't aim for any specific number of eyes. I haven't ended up with the same number of eyes twice, so I haven't had any ambiguous titles yet. My titles are very straightforward, but it's a part of the process I enjoy. If I do get a repeat eye count, I was considering taking the Windows/Grand Theft Auto route and lapsing into a numbering system based on the order of its creation, temporarily or as long as it serves my needs.
