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.

Ruined Menorah

I attempted to reglaze the Menorah with Spirals because of a defect on the back and it came back looking ugly. Yesterday I broke it and threw it away, but I went back today, took it out of the trash, and brought it home to photograph.

Before reglazing:




After reglazing:



Now I'm going to throw it away again.
