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.

Pope Mandrill II for the Hierophant Tarot Card

This is based on a Byzantine religious icon of Holy Hierarch Lev the Pope of Rome






The book he's holding is based on the Necronomicon prop from the Evil Dead movies.  I made a few alternate books, but I like the one he's holding better.
