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.

So Like a Fish...
After the explosion in the kiln, I feel compelled to take a picture of each piece I make just in case it doesn't survive. This is a replacement for the aboleth that blew up. The problem is that I don't know for sure if there are any lethal air bubbles lurking somewhere. This one could also explode and destroy my other pieces and other people's pots in the process. So like a fish to come in and start oozing all over the place.
