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.

Jenkin
I've been carrying around a squeaking toy rat in my backpack for a few years and I finally found a use for it: as a model for this piece. I was thinking of naming it after Brown Jenkin, the rat familiar with human features from H.P. Lovecraft's story "Dreams in the Witch House." I ended up glazing it with a glaze called "Pussywillow," which comes out grayish when applied lightly, so he's just Jenkin rather than Brown Jenkin.

Formless Spawn #4
This is the fourth in a series of Formless Spawn sculptures from around 2007. Formless Spawn are Cthulhu Mythos entities from the writing of Clark Ashton Smith.
Formless Spawn #3
This is the third in a series of Formless Spawn from around 2007. It's meant to depict one of the servitors of the Old One Tsathoggua. It's chipped in several places and may have been damaged in the great moving disaster of 2010.
Formless Spawn #1
This is the first in a series of sculptures of Formless Spawn, servitors of the Old One Tsathoggua. This one is from 2004 or 2005. It's not hollow so it's only by good fortune or good wedging that it made it through the bisque kiln without exploding.

Formless Spawn #2
This is old work from about 2007. I made a series of sculptures representing Formless Spawn, an entity from the Cthulhu Mythos, although not one invented by Lovecraft. The Formless Spawn were invented by Clark Ashton Smith. They were designated as the servitors of the Old One Tsathoggua.
I posted about them a few years ago, but I'm listing one of them on Etsy and I wanted to update the photography.

All-Purpose Monster Miniatures
These are two all-purpose monster miniatures for use in a Dungeons & Dragons game. I don't have any games going on currently, so I guess these will have to wait. I made them a few weeks ago. I was working at the pottery studio on a Saturday night when suddenly a large, noisy group of people turned up for a "clay party." They were weekend revelers and I was there to work. I felt trapped in the room where I was working. While I waiting for the pot I was making to dry, I made these bold artistic statements.
