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.

Alecto of the Furies



The Furies, euphemized as The Kindly Ones, are Greek goddesses of vengeance.  I used them on a chalice and made sculptural versions for the Temperance Tarot card, but this is only one that survived intact.  My own interaction with The Kindly Ones came from Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels.
