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.

Paragons of Giraffeness

Finished Phantom Giraffe Sculpture

A few days ago I made an object with several giraffe heads.  They weren't exactly paragons of giraffeness, but you could tell what they were supposed to be.  I was surprised at how hard it was to make a recognizable giraffe head tonight.  This is a robed undead giraffe figure.
