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.

New Atavism
This is a small, simple clay object inspired by the Mario games in which everything has a face on it. I'm still playing through Super Mario Galaxy after almost two years. Right now I'm stuck on the Cosmic Forest Race star, in which the player must race a shadowy anti-Mario entity through a difficult landscape. I have many, many similar atavistic sculptures similarly inspired that I'm going to be posting until my new work gets finished.
