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.

Mandrill Mask

4/7/23

Ceramic wall mask of that delightful primate Mandrillus sphinx, the mandrill, the world's biggest monkey. My personal connection to the mandrill is that the Crate Beast, Fluffy, from Creepshow, is obviously based on the mandrill in appearance. Creepshow is the movie that made me love the horror genre. Available for purchase in my Etsy.
