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.

Quetzalcoatlus Sculpture WIP

This is the massive extinct flying reptile, not the Aztec deity.

Q update (4/15/18): Q survived the trip to the pottery studio.



Q update:  It survived the initial drying process and survived being moved to a different shelf.  The next step is the move to the kilns at the pottery studio. 



It's asking a lot of the neck to hold up that head. Quetzalcoatlus might collapse and disintegrate before he makes it to the bisque kiln.
