Aberrant Ceramics: May 2026

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 since 2004, 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.

Deaths Head Moth Sculptures

Deaths Head Hawkmoth Wall Sculptures Beautiful moths that have a skull-like marking on their thorax. Immortalized in Silence of the Lambs. These are my versions, deviating from anatomical correctness to varying degrees. Sculptural objects to hang on the wall.

Baphomets and Devils

These are small ceramic sculptures of Baphomet, the androgynous goat god allegedly worshipped by the Knights Templar. I've also include an image of the Christian devil for good measure.
