| Anomalocaris means "odd shrimp" (although I remember how to spell it using ano malo which means bad anus in Spanish, not to be confused with año malo or bad year).   | |
The odd shrimp it refers to is the shape of its mouthparts, which were thought to be a shrimp-like creature when the fossil was first discovered.  | |
Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, ceramicist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
Self-taught artist on the autism spectrum. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, horror comedy, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – and all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme. I’m just frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can until I’m no longer able to do so.
This blog has served as a record of my ceramic output since 2006.
