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.
Self-taught artist on the autism spectrum. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, horror comedy, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – and all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme. I’m just frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can until I’m no longer able to do so.

Seated Tardigrade on Monster Sofa
The tardigrades (water bears, moss piglets) are known for their unique ability to survive in a vacuum. They are not well known for their ability to assume a seated posture and I think the awkwardness of a tardigrade attempting to sit on a couch is captured well in this piece.
