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.

Zuckuss Column

The Zuckuss Column has been sitting on my shelf for a few months. It lost a chunk out of the column. I used a mysterious substance called Magic Slip to attempt to reattach it, but it was unsuccessful, so I glazed it anyway with the piece missing.

Zuckuss is a character from the famous bounty hunter scene in The Empire Strikes Back. He is from the planet Gand and his species is also known as the Gand. He can be seen for a few seconds standing with his fellow bounty hunters, including his droid partner 4-LOM, and Darth Vader.






Here you can see the missing piece of the column.
