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.

Ent Vase That Doesn't Hold Water
I started a second Ent/Treant figure. This one is based on a digital painting by SirJarva on Deviantart. I realized there was no way I could get the leafy foliage the way I wanted it with clay, so it came out as a vase that doesn't hold water. I was thinking of using broccoli and then possibly changing it out for cauliflower at some point. I think rosemary might also work well.
