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.

Phallic Monster #6
This is a primitive sculpture of a creature with a penis for its head and tail. The Etruscan bronze sculpture it's modeled after also has an erection where you would expect to find one, but this one is in a crouching position and I couldn't fit it in. The top comes off to reveal a secret compartment.
