Ka (JCB,JCB), 2009. 2 JCB 1CX backhoe arms, Commissioned by Sharjah Biennial 9

Ka transposes the raised-arms Egyptian hieroglyph of  an ancient belief system into a contemporary sculpture. An iconoclastic icon, a primal gesture as much about beckoning the heavens as it is a gesture of despair. All critique and political imperative follows from this simple clash between techne and sacred pose.
