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.

The Wiwaxia Contingency Plan WIP

Finished Green Wiwaxia sculpture

Even in the real fossil Wiwaxia from the Burgess Shale, broken spines were common.  Yet when I accidentally broke off one spine, I felt compelled to destroy the whole thing and dump it in the slip bucket.  I'm making several new Wiwaxia as a contingency plan in case another one breaks.
