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.

Bust of Ogremoch WIP

View the finished Bust of Ogrémoch here.

The large, hollow slab sculpture of Ogremoch, the Prince of Evil Earth Elementals, did not survive completely intact.  It was doing fine until I started to trim off some of the excess clay around the arms.  They were apparently load-bearing slabs because it started to collapse.  I removed the bottom section so now I have a bust of Ogremoch.  I left a door in the back of the head to place a small candle and I'm hoping to use it as a jack-o-lantern this Halloween.  I'm also hoping to try again with a full figure of Ogremoch after the yearly pilgrimage to the homeland.
