This object is about 6 inches tall. It has a squash-like shape and a non-symmetrical pattern of spikes. The entity inside the squash was made from a mold of a mask and the tentacles of some cephalopod monstrosity or Cryonex, the Elemental Prince of Evil Cold Creatures from the AD&D Fiend Folio.
Cryonex, Elemental Prince of Evil Cold Creatures. I believe the illustrator is Emmanuel. The AD&D Fiend Folio has long been a great inspiration to me.

Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in the medium of stoneware clay for 21 years, developing a practice rooted in literal construction and obsessive repetition. He makes non-traditional ceramics 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.
