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.

The Friendly, Nurturing, Female Presence of Chairy

Chairy was a furniture-character on Paul Reubens' Saturday morning TV show from the eighties, Pee-Wee's Playhouse. On the show, Chairy was a friendly, nurturing, female presence amidst the various screaming chaos nightmare creatures in the Playhouse household. Her antithesis was a dog-shaped chair named Dog Chair.

My interpretation of Chairy came out a little scarier than I was expecting. If I were Pee-Wee Herman, I don't think I would trust this Chairy to cradle my buttocks.






The real Chairy. Now there's a piece of sentient furniture you can trust your ass with.




This crude object is the Chairy Color Test Owl.
