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 for 21 years, 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.

Bossk Dreidel

This is the second in a series of dreidels incorporating images/molds of the bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back. This one features Bossk the Tradoshan, seen very briefly glaring down at the disdainful Imperial officers in the film. The Hebrew letters have evolved into carved positive images instead of scratches on the surface of the clay. I'm still not happy with the gimel.
