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.

Practice Hallucigenia WIP

Finished Hallucigenia sculptures

Last night, I attempted to make a large Hallucigenia sculpture, but I couldn't get the spike-like legs to stay on so I destroyed it.  I tried again with a smaller, simpler piece.  The key was to attach the legs before the tentacle-like structures on the back.  Of course, this is all based on an obsolete interpretation of the fossil.  Hallucigenia really walked on the tentacle-like structures and had the spikes protruding from its back.
