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.

The Box Idea
This is my father's idea of how to make my work more appealing to the consumer. The vaguely human-shaped, unglazed object with two heads and a broken limb was the result of visiting The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. It was part of a series of representations of conjoined twin fetuses.
