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.

Seated Cthulhu #1

A few months ago I received a commission for a seated Cthulhu and was given this as an idea of what he wanted.  This was what I came up with and then decided I couldn't sell it for the $20 budget of the commission and made a second one that I felt fit the price better (not an inferior piece, but less detailed).

This is based on a design for a papercraft Cthulhu by paper engineer Phillip Fickling.



Lovecraft's original Elder Sign is inscribed on the sides and August Derleth's version is on the back.  There is also some mysterious fake lettering on the front:
