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.

Large Cicada Sculpture #18 with Round Eye and Skulls

5/9/26 

Large Cicada Sculpture with Round Eye and Skulls. Number 18 in my 2026 series of cicada sculptures. Large round eye from my collection of custom eye press molds. This one is from 2011.

This one also has a pattern of engraved sigils, including some molded skull faces. The skulls are from a Halloween decoration. It was a resin figure of a witch holding a small skull in front of her. I was hoping for something more similar to Mr. Skullhead from Animaniacs.
