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 feel like I'm frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can.

Larger Hallucigenia WIP

Finished Hallucigenia sculptures

This is another sculpture of the obsolete interpretation of Hallucigenia walking on spike-like structures.  It's larger and a little more detailed than the last one, but I only managed to fit five of the six pairs of legs.  At some point I want to try to make the more modern, more accurate Hallucigenia walking on its tentacle-like legs with the spines on its back, but what probably worked fine in a marine setting is difficult to balance in clay.
