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.

Pipes, Part 1
I had one box of ceramic objects that I hadn't opened since I moved here in 2010. Among other things, there are nine pipes inside. They were meant to be functional pipes for smoking some plant material. They are functional but the hole through the pipe is wide in some of them. You would need a large screen and you would probably still be inhaling a fair amount of particulate and perhaps larger-than-particulate matter. Luckily, they also have some decorative appeal. They look like caterpillars. That's decorative, right?
