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.

Flying Moon Faces
A few years ago I made a mold from the face of a statue my parents brought back from Hawaii. It's labeled as "Hawaiian Fertility God," but I'm not sure if it's a genuine Hawaiian deity or a Tiki Kitsch object for the tourist trade. These are new objects made from the mold.
