About a year and a half ago, I started this project with Sara. We made small, grotesque clay sculptures with plans to paint or glaze them and hang them up with a clay bell. She finished her own a long time ago, but it took me a long time to prepare mine, but it finally happened and here is the finished object.
This happy clay object was one of my milagros, but I decided not to include it since it's so grim and icky.

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.
