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.

I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.

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.

The Mystery of the Seated Tardigrade WIP

Finished Tardigrade #13 sculpture

I made a seated tardigrade last year.  I'm trying to recreate it for another project, but even with the original object in front of me, I can't figure out how I did it.  I know I shaped it as a whole, cut it apart into rings, and then reassembled the rings.  This is what I came up with tonight and I think it completely fails to capture the feeling of the first one.
