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.

Burgess Shale Fauna


I submitted six clay objects to a show called "No Deeper Blue" at the Straw House Gallery, somewhere south of Tucson. The text as I copied it reads: "An evening of artful prayer ... floor of the ancient ocean," with the ... standing in for where I can't read my own handwriting. The second phrase of that text definitely includes a lot of my work, particularly my Burgess Shale fauna period in 2004-2005.
