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.

Practice Hallucigenia WIP

Finished Hallucigenia sculptures

Last night, I attempted to make a large Hallucigenia sculpture, but I couldn't get the spike-like legs to stay on so I destroyed it.  I tried again with a smaller, simpler piece.  The key was to attach the legs before the tentacle-like structures on the back.  Of course, this is all based on an obsolete interpretation of the fossil.  Hallucigenia really walked on the tentacle-like structures and had the spikes protruding from its back.
