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.

Nothing Exudes Normalcy Like a Doily

View the finished Medium Normal Menorah here.

This is the first in a series of "normal" menorahs.  By normal, I mean no baby heads, no trilobites, and no mutated Star Wars references, just nice, non-threatening geometrical patterns such as this pattern of concentric circles made by pressing a doily into the clay.  Nothing exudes normalcy like a doily.
