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.

Burrobrush Menorah

This is the last of this series of menorahs, Menorah 28, the Burrobrush Menorah.  Singlewhorl Burrobrush, Ambrosia monogyra, is a shrub native to the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico.  It smells like dill when it's dry.
