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.

Pikaia 8 and 9

Pikaia 8 has the "floating blue" glaze.  It's usually a deeper blue when applied heavily and brownish with blue highlights when applied lightly.  I dipped it in the glaze (as opposed to painting it on like I usually do), so I'm surprised that it isn't a deeper blue.

Pikaia 9 has the reddish "plum" glaze.
