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.

Worm Giraluna

This is a piece from 2007 which I've posted about before.  Here it is again with some better (or at least larger) photos.  The giraluna is a spectral plant entity from Leo Lionni's classic alternate universe  textbook Parallel Botany.  This interpretation of it used a plastic worm mold which I wish I still had.
