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.

Pipes, Part 1

I had one box of ceramic objects that I hadn't opened since I moved here in 2010.  Among other things, there are nine pipes inside.  They were meant to be functional pipes for smoking some plant material.  They are functional but the hole through the pipe is wide in some of them.  You would need a large screen and you would probably still be inhaling a fair amount of particulate and perhaps larger-than-particulate matter.  Luckily, they also have some decorative appeal.  They look like caterpillars.  That's decorative, right?
