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.

Sinistar Object 2
This is the companion piece to Sinistar Object 1. It's a clay interpretation of a pixelated monster flying demon space head from the 80s video game also called Sinistar. I had kept this one aside, intending to paint it to get it closer to the colors of the original, but I eventually went with glaze instead.
