This is the source image. I'm embarrassed because I've been describing it elsewhere as Tibetan and, according to the book, it's a "Death's-head, from a wooden trumpet rest, Mustang, Nepal, early 20th century."
Aberrant Ceramics is the ceramic artwork of Aaron Nosheny. I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, primitive sculpture, hamsas, and a variety of other forms. My work celebrates and pushes the plasticity of the medium. The content of the work follows an inner landscape of biological obsessions, psychic damage, and bouncy cartoon animals.
