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.

I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.

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.

Bread-Loaf-Sized Tardigrade WIP

Finished version of Bread-Loaf-Sized Tardigrade

I have a commission to make a tardigrade the size of a loaf of bread.

I think it looks like a cross between a water bear and a mammalian bear.  The feet look clunky and ridiculous, but I'm fairly sure that if I tried to make realistic tardigrade claws, they would break off in the kiln.



Without head, feet, or all those little holes:
