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.

Panic - Science - Serf
I had an idea to make these clay collages with words surrounded by meaningless images. I made a list of words I wanted to include, but I only got as far as Panic, Science, and Serf. I had thought it would be fun to make and paint them, but it wasn't fun. I didn't feel they were even worth painting individually, so I dipped them in glaze. I like the way they came out, but I'm not intending on pursuing this project any further.
