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.

Jenkin
I've been carrying around a squeaking toy rat in my backpack for a few years and I finally found a use for it: as a model for this piece. I was thinking of naming it after Brown Jenkin, the rat familiar with human features from H.P. Lovecraft's story "Dreams in the Witch House." I ended up glazing it with a glaze called "Pussywillow," which comes out grayish when applied lightly, so he's just Jenkin rather than Brown Jenkin.
