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.

Panic - Science - Serf
I had an idea to make these clay collages with words surrounded by meaningless images. I made a list of words I wanted to include, but I only got as far as Panic, Science, and Serf. I had thought it would be fun to make and paint them, but it wasn't fun. I didn't feel they were even worth painting individually, so I dipped them in glaze. I like the way they came out, but I'm not intending on pursuing this project any further.
