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.

Wall Cthulhoids
This is a set of four flat Cthulhu objects and one squid object to be hung on the wall. The Cthulhoids were made by cutting out symmetrical Cthulhu paper dolls and tracing them on clay.

March 2015 Bisque Firing
I had a mostly successful bisque firing. The important piece survived the trial by fire and so did most of the other objects. The nice symmetrical mugs are not my work.
This phallic monster sculpture shattered. Luckily it didn't take out any other pieces.
I kept the head.
