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.

Unglazed Max Rebo
The Max Rebo sculpture lost a finger, which could potentially affect his ability to play the red ball organ, but didn't justify smashing the whole thing. We don't have any glaze that comes anywhere near that ridiculous baby blue color, so I think I'm going to resort to acrylic paints instead of glaze.
