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.

American Gothic Cup Practice Objects
These are meant to be the stern-looking farmer from Grant Wood's painting American Gothic. I also made a mug using the same farmer and these were used as practice for that. I used an off-white glaze called Queens which usually comes out brownish when applied lightly. I did apply it lightly, but the glaze was probably too thick and it came out a uniform off-white which doesn't show the details that well.
