The face on the stamp was inspired by a tourist souvenir statue labeled as the god of fertility.
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.

June 2018 Bisque Firing
The firing was successful, but there was a fair amount of breakage while loading. A few pieces lost body parts and one had to be tossed into the black pit of despair.

Hamsa Tray
The use of a Devangari syllable makes this more magickal than if I had used amurriquen letters.

Joint of Beast WIP
I did a collage interpretation of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre about 20 years ago which had some drawings of weird food for the dinner scene. This is an interpretation of one of them.

Transcendental Function Cups WIP
Redoing the Cotangent Cup. Perhaps this project will be less of a drag if I use red clay.
Second attempt at the Secant Cup. It's still pissing me off.
Third Secant Cup:
y = csc x
I now know why trig functions are not a popular decoration for pottery.
