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.

Unfired Ent
There is an Treant/Ent character in Beyond the Crystal Cave, although it doesn't appear in any combat encounters. I wanted to make an Ent sculpture to use as a visual aid and this is what I came up with. It needed a support, but the wooden dowel in the top picture was too tall to fit on my shelf, so I used the doll instead.
