Aberrant Ceramics is the ceramic artwork of Aaron Nosheny. I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, primitive sculpture, hamsas, and a variety of other forms. My work celebrates and pushes the plasticity of the medium. The content of the work follows an inner landscape of biological obsessions, psychic damage, and bouncy cartoon animals.

American Gothic Cup Practice Objects
These are meant to be the stern-looking farmer from Grant Wood's painting American Gothic. I also made a mug using the same farmer and these were used as practice for that. I used an off-white glaze called Queens which usually comes out brownish when applied lightly. I did apply it lightly, but the glaze was probably too thick and it came out a uniform off-white which doesn't show the details that well.
