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.

Space Coyotes 11 and 12
I recently sold one of these on Etsy and decided to make a few more, but then I heard rumors of Fox's plans to crack down on copyright infringement on Etsy. I don't know if the coyote head is actually copyrighted, but I voluntarily took them down to avoid having my shop closed.

Tooth Cup #2
This cup maintains the pattern of human teeth, although I ran out of room after the first molars and the bottom teeth are the same size as the top teeth.
The glaze ran in many places.
