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.

R'lyeh Pot
Based on a collage image which was based on a dream about seeing Elvis performing Beatles songs live, Octopus's Garden in this case. R'lyeh, where the hip young people are free to just be themselves.
Santa Pot
Coil pot with repeated image molded from dollar store Santa Claus figure. I like the older nature-spirit Santas better than the red and white horror of recent imagery.
Unholy Lamb Sheep Bowl
This is one of a series of two sheep bowls. This one has a collaged image of an eerily cute lamb image from an old Valentine's Day card. Sheep stamp on the outside is based on a drawing by KV.
Anthraxus Sheep Bowl
This is one of a series of two sheep bowls. This one has a collaged image of Anthraxus, a Dungeons & Dragons daemon of disease. Stamp images inspired by drawing by KV.
