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.

Baby Head Menorah
This is a slab menorah with 37 molded baby heads. There are two different baby head molds, one with the eyes open and the other with the eyes closed. The individual heads came out in a variety of different shapes depending on how it was arbitrarily distorted. It's 8.5 inches long, 7 inches high at the shamus (candle used to light the other candles) holder, and about 2.5 inches thick.
