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.

Tardigrade 4
The interdimensional youth craze for the adorable and vacuum-resistant water bears has resulted in the sales and departure of my previous three tardigrades. Here is #4. I made flat, clawed feet more similar to mammalian bear feet than real water bear feet, hoping that they wouldn't break off in the kiln. The feet on the caudal segment lost a few toes, but otherwise I like how it came out.
