Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny,
ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
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.

Tribute to the Eldritch Hutch
I tend to personify inanimate objects. Letting go of some pieces of furniture feels like permanently saying goodbye to family. This large object was given to me when I moved into my first apartment in Piscataway, NJ. I used it as a bookcase for years, and later to display clay sculpture. A few days ago, I placed it on craigslist and within hours it was magically gone forever from my life.
