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.

Another Beholder
This is Beholder 8. I've been collecting scraps of clay for a few months and I have about 20 pounds or $36 worth of clay I was able to recycle. I wedged (kneaded) it for a long time, but I still found an occasional air pocket which means that Beholder 8 could contain unseen air pockets and explode in the kiln. Beholder 8 has about 80 teeth.
