Filth fever, anyone?
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.

Wererat Wall Hanging
I could probably get away with lying and saying that this is just a painfully cute mouse, but I must be true to myself: it's a wererat modeled on the classic D&D illustration below. I considered painting the nose pink, but I think I'm going to leave it the natural clay color.
