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.

Nectocaris

Death Crab would have been almost as evocative a genus name as Hallucigenia, but it's Nectocaris (swimming crab), not Necrocaris. This is another Burgess Shale mystery creature which has since found a taxonomic home with the lovely cephalopods.






Disclaimer: This model of Nectocaris is not designed to be used as marijuana paraphernalia. It has no mouth and anus to be exploited as an airway. It's not anatomically correct. As for Nectocaris #3, however...
