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.

Eryops-Crawling Infant Objects for Empress Card
Timothy Leary's plan for the Empress card includes an amphibian crawling out of the water or an infant in belly-to-belly contact with its mother. The amphibian is Eryops megacephalus, an extinct animal from the early Permian period (about 295 millions years ago) with a large, crocodile-like body and a wide, frog-like head. These pieces include Eryops, a crawling infant, and some combinations of the two. I'm currently planning on using the last one.

These are lemniscates/infinity symbols for the Magus card (and possibly for others).

Glazed Emeril Objects
I received a set of Emeril flexible cutting boards as a birthday gift. They each have a symbol representing what kind of food you're supposed to use it for (beef, chicken, fish, vegetable). I only have use for one of them, but the symbols are fun. Here they are in clay form.
