Right now, whenever I go to the studio and try to make something, I get as far as the feet and legs and then end up destroying it. From now on, I'm vowing not to destroy the feet and legs even if I don't end up making the rest of the figure.
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.

Orcs Acting in a Violent Fashion
These are some small figures of orcs acting in a violent fashion. I had been hoping to make D&D miniatures, but they came out too large and I don't think I can work on a smaller scale than this. I'm currently planning a new series of figures of orcs acting in a violent fashion, hopefully more violent and more graphically so than these two.
