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.

It Feels Safer With a Cockroach

Finished version of Cockroach Cup #4

This is another slab cup with a fine example of a Periplaneta americana (American cockroach) at the bottom.  I was actually considering making one or more cups without any ornamentation whatsoever, but I find the concept to be intimidating.  Somehow, it feels safer with a cockroach.
