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.

Eye Cup #3
This number 3 in a series of five coffee cups with patterns of molded eyes, and among the first to be glazed. It has five eyes traced with a pattern of carved curves. The eyes are colored with cobalt oxide (or cobalt carbonate, I'm not sure which). It could theoretically be used as a coffee cup, although it's a little heavy.
