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.

Phallic Object 4
This is my fourth animal-like phallic sculpture. This is another donation to my friend's auction, along with the Vulva Chamsa. It's hollow and has a lid which doesn't fit that well. I'm considering securing it with velcro, although I'm not usually one to introduce multimedia elements to clay pieces.
