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.

Eryops-Crawling Infant Objects for Empress Card
Timothy Leary's plan for the Empress card includes an amphibian crawling out of the water or an infant in belly-to-belly contact with its mother. The amphibian is Eryops megacephalus, an extinct animal from the early Permian period (about 295 millions years ago) with a large, crocodile-like body and a wide, frog-like head. These pieces include Eryops, a crawling infant, and some combinations of the two. I'm currently planning on using the last one.

Glazed Emeril Objects
I received a set of Emeril flexible cutting boards as a birthday gift. They each have a symbol representing what kind of food you're supposed to use it for (beef, chicken, fish, vegetable). I only have use for one of them, but the symbols are fun. Here they are in clay form.
