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.

"Bob" Update
"Bob" didn't make it through the bisque kiln entirely intact. The entire face became detached from the background and the lower part of the face became detached from the upper part. I glazed it anyway, hoping that the glaze will be able to hold the piece together. Sometimes that works. Note that the colors of the applied glaze do not accurately represent the colors after it goes through the glaze kiln.
