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.

Large Phallic Pot
This is a slab pot 13.5 inches tall in the shape of an exaggerated human
male organ of procreation. Just for reference, there is a whole phylum
of marine worms called priapulids (meaning penis shaped) which have been
around since the Cambrian period, many hundreds of millions of years
before human beings and human male penises. The fruiting bodies of many
kinds of fungi have also been known to use a similar shape.
