I encountered the Apple Spirit as an avatar of Eris while walking around the woods stoned at night in suburban Pennsylvania.
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.

Brittle Star Pot
This is another relic of my freelance tutoring experience. While the 12-year-old student wasted time, I read about echinoderms and planned pottery projects.
The Mermaid and the Ammonite Pot
The mermaid holding a shell was on a notebook belonging to a student I was tutoring. The ammonite and boobs are my additions.
Eye Jug
Venting:
- The plum glaze is coming out light pink. I think I diluted it too much.
- This pot was intended for another project but I wasn't happy with the shape so I added some eyes rather than going through the trouble of recycling the clay. I now have a reliable system for recycling clay at my home studio.
