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.

Undead Disney Objects
They don't really look undead. They're more like distorted intellectual property violations with spooky eyes.

Dumbo. Not the octopus.
Pinocchio
Mickey's old nemesis Pete the brutish cat.
The Ducking Nephews
The Ducking Nephews with holes for hanging

Anomalocaris Sculpture from 2004
I made this sculpture in 2004 when I started working with clay. One of the mouth parts broke off. I eventually glued it back together, but I didn't glaze it because I didn't think the glue would survive the glaze kiln.
