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.

This is a practice mask for the workshop I'm teaching this weekend. At first I couldn't get the eyes to not look like boobs. I was using large spheres as pupils and I removed them so now it has large round empty spaces as pupils and they look less like breasts. Now I'm looking at and thinking that it's kind of nice to retread into "my five year old could make that" territory.
