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.

Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes
These are clay wall hangings depicting the members of the band in the cantina on Tattoine in Star Wars. Five of the seven members of the band are represented: Figrin D'an, Doikk Na'ts, Tedn Dahai, Tech M'or, and Nalan Cheel. Do you think all Bith look the same? Are you a humancentric speciesist?
