Aberrant Ceramics: September 2016

/* Pinterest website claiming thingie */ /* That's it for the pinterest thingie */ Aberrant Ceramics: September 2016

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.

Mean Cat and Deer Minion WIP for the Emperor Card

Underfired Weasels for the Priestess card

The kiln underfired and the glazes are duller and rougher than they should be. I'm going to refire them, but I think the underfired versions might work out better for the Priestess card.

These are the ones I drew. The first two are the same as the one used on the Weasel Cup. The last few look more like lizards.

Hot Dog Kid/Giant, Deer Minion, and Mean Cat WIP for the Emperor Card

The Emperor is based on an old collage of a giant in a Speedo with the head of a chubby-cheeked kid from a hot dog advertisement. I'm having trouble getting the Hot Dog Kid's face to come out right.
