The head resembles the skull face originally from the film serial The Crimson Ghost, which was recycled in the eighties as the logo and mascot for the hardcore punk band the Misfits.
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.

Fiend Devotion
The Fiend Devotion is part of this year's crop of clay Halloween objects. The Devotions are pieces made with parts from a doll mold, in this case the arms, one of which broke off in the kiln. The head is from a candy container which screams and giggles when jostled in any way (see below).
