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.

Old Cat Column
This is probably from 2007 or 2008. It's one in a series of column sculptures originally modeled on Lewis Carroll characters. The cats became less and less cat-like and this was one of the later ones.

Eris Idol 1
I had an idea to make idols of Eris, the Greek goddess of chaos, similar to the primitive Cthulhu idols I had been making. Since Eris is a deity of human appearance rather than an octopoid monstrosity, this came out even cruder than I was expecting. It looks ridiculous and I think that's appropriate. The reason for the hair color is that I once had a dream of Eris with blue hair.
Here are the Christmas ornament and illustration from D'aulaires' Book of Greek Myths that were the models for this idol.
