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.

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.
