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.

Radish Spirit

This is the Radish Spirit from Spirited Away. I based the color on the image below, but it doesn't really match the color of the Japanese daikon radish, which is closer to yellow.






Spirited Away takes place at a spa for spirits and I assume the Radish Spirit is meant to be wearing a g-string-like cover up for the time not spent soaking in hot water. The image shows a little flap to cover up whatever genital organs vegetable spirit entities may possess in the front, but I wasn't sure about the back. I gave him the modesty flap in the back because he didn't really have a waist and I didn't think the strap around the back side looked like it would hold.






This image shows the real color of the daikon radish.
