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.

Eye Cup 17 WIP

Finished version of Eye Cup #17

This is Eye Cup #17.  I had an experience a few days ago in which I started to make a few new cups and then got frustrated with the handles and tore them down.  I would normally be disturbed by this (although it was a minimal time investment and no clay was wasted), but this seems to happen at the beginning of every build cycle.  I rebuilt the two cups last night and realized I could form them from one large slab of clay rather than strips of slabs as I've been doing up to now.
