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.

Lemure Figure

I made a flat lemure face, but I wanted the opportunity to portray the melty goodness of the AD&D lemure in clay, so I also made a full-body figure of this crappiest devil.

The word lemure comes from Latin lemur, meaning "shades or spirits of the restless or malignant dead." The D&D usage looks like the incorrect singular of the plural lemures. It's also the origin of the name of the taxon of the unusual primates of Madagascar.
