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.

Eye Miter Pot
This is a tall slab pot decorated with a miter (pope's hat) and numerous eyes of different shapes and colors. The Hierophant Tarot card included a mandrill with a miter and this pot was made in conjunction with that card.
Celestial Telescope Goldfish Chalice WIP
This is one of a series of four hand-built ceramics chalices. The fish image is inspired by a photo from the Life Nature Library volume titled The Fishes. It looked like it would collapse if I left it right side up, so I left it to dry upside down. It's very possible that the stem will collapse to one side.

Phallic Monstrosity WIP
I sold out on penis-shaped sculpture this Xmas season. Time to get busy for next year so all the good boys and girls can get dick-shaped monstrosities under their trees.

Eris Chalice WIP
It's a pinch pot perched on a thick coil of clay with a face based partially on a sculpture of Eris from 2014 and partially on Carrie Fisher's hair buns in Star Wars Episode IV.

Flat Flying Taco Object
I have a food porn blog called Tacos of the Universe. The flying taco is for the banner.
Flying Moon Faces
A few years ago I made a mold from the face of a statue my parents brought back from Hawaii. It's labeled as "Hawaiian Fertility God," but I'm not sure if it's a genuine Hawaiian deity or a Tiki Kitsch object for the tourist trade. These are new objects made from the mold.

Sigil Cups
These are primitive shallow cups for use as candle holders. They contain ensigilizations of desire.
New Magus Card Objects WIP
I decided to redo the Magus card. The one I made before is more my interpretation of the traditional card than my interpretation of Dr. Leary's design.

Dr. Drill & Fill WIP
This is an interpretation of the Dr. Drill & Fill Play-Doh toy. You could make teeth out of that weird-smelling synthetic clay and pretend to drill them and fill cavities. This is another item for Jesús's closet toy shelf for the Angry Mophead story.
