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.

The Wiwaxia Contingency Plan WIP

Finished Green Wiwaxia sculpture

Even in the real fossil Wiwaxia from the Burgess Shale, broken spines were common.  Yet when I accidentally broke off one spine, I felt compelled to destroy the whole thing and dump it in the slip bucket.  I'm making several new Wiwaxia as a contingency plan in case another one breaks.
