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.

This is a column sculpture with a primitive sculpted face.

Tardigrade 18 WIP

This is the first of a new series of tardigrades. This one has big feet. The facial features are not actually facial features, but they're based on an electron microscope image of a tardigrade that appears to have facial features.

Embryo Pot

This is a slab pot with the facial features of a 5-week-old human embryo. I also made a mug with the same design. Yes, it looks like a penis, but so did your head when you were a 5-week-old embryo.

Tall Eye Pot Commission WIP

I just sold the Red Eye Pot and someone commissioned another one. It's a 10.5 inch tall slab pot with thirty eyes of various sizes in rings around the pot and spikes above the eyes.
