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.

Student Heads WIP
I used to be an elementary school teacher. These are portraits of a few special students, mostly ones with whom I had an adversarial relationship. These are to completely dismiss the whole horrible experience. It's an exorcism. They're going to be incorporated into the Strength Tarot card.
The cartoon lion was obviously not in my class, but I wanted to keep some of the original symbolism intact.

Kerubic Beasts
These are flat versions of the Kerubic beasts for the Chariot Tarot card. Some occult nonsense about four elemental beings which comprise the sphinx. Just to really fuck with your head, the Kerubic beast for air is a "man" or "angel" and the Kerubic beast for the water is an eagle. I also did sculptural versions of these with boobs, but they won't be done for a long time.
