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.

Vinegar Tom Sculpture

6/19/19

Vinegar Tom was a witch's familiar documented by Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins in 1647 in The Discovery of Witches.  He and his assistants tortured an old woman with sleep deprivation until she named her familiars, which then appeared in front of her, including greyhound/ox hybrid Vinegar Tom.
