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.

Hot Dog Kid/Giant, Deer Minion, and Mean Cat WIP for the Emperor Card

The Emperor is based on an old collage of a giant in a Speedo with the head of a chubby-cheeked kid from a hot dog advertisement.  I'm having trouble getting the Hot Dog Kid's face to come out right.




This is the Emperor's cat.  It's also a piece from an old collage.  It's a Callas Cat, a hybrid between a Scottish wildcat and a domestic cat. 7.8.25
