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.

Prelude to an Art Feud
I feel like my art feud has fizzled out and I'm grateful to have someone in my life who has stepped up to fill the void.

Achaierai Paint Job / Shiny Evil Bird
This is a sculpture of a D&D monster called the Achaierai from 2012. I painted the base and sprayed it with acrylic sealer and now it's a shiny evil bird.

Amoeba-Baby Fool With Shorter Psuedopodia WIP
My first Amoeba-Baby piece broke when I tried to move it to the kiln room. This one has shorter pseudopodia so hopefully that will make its destruction less likely.

These are clay pieces for the Game of Life Tarot deck. The figures are my interpretations of the magician from the Rider Waite Tarot deck.

Fetus - Amoeba WIP
Tonight I'm starting a Tarot deck, based upon Timothy Leary's design from The Game of Life. I'm planning on constructing the elements for each card out of clay, taking photos, and manipulating the photos to create the card. This is for the first card, number zero, The Fool.

Wall Cthulhoids With Various Glazes
This is what survived of the set of Wall Cthulhoids using various glazes. Several of them broke in the kiln.
Jade Green Wall Cthulhoids
A few years ago, I made a series of Cthulhoid Wall Hangings traced from symmetrical paper cut outs. I sold out of them (all four of them). I had kept the paper cut outs, so I made two more sets of them, a few in jade green like the originals and a few with different glazes.

Lepelara terrestris
This is a sculpture of Lepelara terrestris, one of the spectral plant species from Parallel Botany, Leo Leonni's psychedelic imaginary botany textbook. I made it in 2004 or 2005. Parallel Botany was one of my earliest source books.
