Pages





Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in stoneware clay since 2004. He makes non-traditional forms 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.

Kiln overfired. Evaulating whether it's worth trying to recreate these pieces and then ... the joy of smashing them out by the dumpster.





Secret Confession: overfiring makes them super strong and even if I try to smash them out by the dumpster, there's a chance they'll bounce off the sides and go to the landfill intact.

One of several mushroom stamps I made a few years ago, used here to decorate a mug.


Added some collaged features. The eyes and nose are from a drawing of Karl Marx and the mouth is from an anatomical diagram.


Uploaded this to Dall-E 2 and had it produce variations.
Selected this one to reinterpret in clay.


Also drawing from this one for the realistic gills.


Several iterations of sketches:
