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.

Kerubic Beasts
These are flat versions of the Kerubic beasts for the Chariot Tarot card. Some occult nonsense about four elemental beings which comprise the sphinx. Just to really fuck with your head, the Kerubic beast for air is a "man" or "angel" and the Kerubic beast for the water is an eagle. I also did sculptural versions of these with boobs, but they won't be done for a long time.
