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.

Eris Idol #2
I had the idea of making Eris idols similar to the Cthulhu idols, but it's a more human form and therefore more problematic. I like this one better than the first one, but it's still an absurd distortion of a human form. Also, the shadow looks like a penis and, from the back, it looks like a psychedelic dildo.
