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.

OZ Project WIP

Finished Wizard of Oz Project

A few years ago I made a series of clay objects for my nephew based on the classic children's book Mog the Forgetful Cat.  I wanted to make something for my younger nephew and the plan had been to make something based on the Elephant and Piggie books.  I was prepared to do this, but I have no personal connection to the series.  My sister recently informed me that both boys are into The Wizard of Oz.  I loved L. Frank Baum's Oz novels when I was younger and I was happy to have a project that I would enjoy as much as the nephews.

These are clay drawings of the main non-human characters of the movie The Wizard of Oz and the first book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
