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.

Uncle Sam Hat
It's outside my usual content area, but I accepted this commission in exchange for a bag of clay.

Fancy Sperm for the Hermit Tarot Card WIP
This was the first group of sperm.
The kiln overfired and I had to redo these.
Octohalos/Can-tahs
These were inspired by the cursed magic items in Stephen King's novel Desperation. They were intended for the Strength Tarot card, but I'm probably not going to use them.
