Aberrant Ceramics: May 2022

/* Pinterest website claiming thingie */ /* That's it for the pinterest thingie */ Aberrant Ceramics: May 2022

Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny,
potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in the medium of stoneware clay for 21 years, developing a practice rooted in literal construction and obsessive repetition. He makes non-traditional ceramics in a medium built on tradition, exploring the overlap between wonder and revulsion. Subject matter includes sympathetic monsters, insects, opossums, fast food mascots, and Halloween kitsch.

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.

Considered cutting it off at the waist and making it the top of a bell, but I'm too lazy to make a coil pot. I modeled the feet after my own and now it's anatomically perfect.

12/5/21 Conjoined Bat Figure With Curves

The last version of the conjoined bat figure lost a toe and had to be euthanized by blunt force out by the dumpster. I gave this one boots instead of toes and it looks like it's wearing sweatpants a few sizes too small while walking on the treadmill at the gym. This is partially due to lack of training in sculpting human anatomy and partially due to gravity. The upside is the dumpster is still out there, patiently waiting.
