This is my second Opabinia. It's 11 inches long. I made it some time between 2004 and 2006.
This is my first Opabinia. It was one of my earliest clay pieces. The snout broke off and I glued it back on.
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.
