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.

Ten Plagues of Egypt finger puppets actually exist for Jewish religious education or Seder party favors. I'm doing clay interpretations and these are the first three.

Eryops-Crawling Infant Objects for Empress Card
Timothy Leary's plan for the Empress card includes an amphibian crawling out of the water or an infant in belly-to-belly contact with its mother. The amphibian is Eryops megacephalus, an extinct animal from the early Permian period (about 295 millions years ago) with a large, crocodile-like body and a wide, frog-like head. These pieces include Eryops, a crawling infant, and some combinations of the two. I'm currently planning on using the last one.
