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.

Twelve-Eyed Pot
This is my most recent eye pot. It's 5.5 inches in diameter, 5.5 inches tall, and has 12 jade green eyes. I don't aim for any specific number of eyes. I haven't ended up with the same number of eyes twice, so I haven't had any ambiguous titles yet. My titles are very straightforward, but it's a part of the process I enjoy. If I do get a repeat eye count, I was considering taking the Windows/Grand Theft Auto route and lapsing into a numbering system based on the order of its creation, temporarily or as long as it serves my needs.
