You may be familiar with the small ceramic figures from antiquity with a small man holding his huge phallus. This type of pottery was found throughout South America, the Middle East and all over Europe in ancient times. To draw a timeline from then to now, I made ceramic sculptures and incorporated dick pics that I received unsolicited. Receiving unsolicited dick pics has been a discussed issue over the last 5 years, and just this January (2024) the first person was convicted of cyber-flashing in England. So we know the depiction of the phallus then, which can tell us a lot about the society of the time when phallocracy ruled, a society or system dominated by the male and where the male gender is superior. And when we look at the ceramics, that I made now, we realize how little has changed or how some things never change. For example, that men, then as now, have always taken pride in their genitals.
