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.

Chamsas 72 and 73

These are two larger chamsas, also with oxide experiments.

This is Chamsa 72 with cobalt and Queens glaze.  I'm not sure if it's cobalt oxide or cobalt carbonate.  I think it gives a more consistent blue than the Floating Blue glaze.






This is Chamsa 73 with copper carbonate and Queens glaze.  I like the small streaks of bright green and would probably work better if it were applied more lightly.
