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.

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.
