Aberrant Ceramics: The New Currency

/* Pinterest website claiming thingie */ /* That's it for the pinterest thingie */ Aberrant Ceramics: The New Currency

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 New Currency

I noticed that some of my other small clay objects looked like coins, so I decided to make some that were intentionally coins. The original idea was to put currency amounts on them, hence the 10€ inscription on this one, but I found that writing non sequiturs was more satisfying. The face on this one is sampled from Sara's sculpture.
