July 25 20072007-07-25A close photo of a heap of weathered, tarnished metal sculptural fragments on a dusty concrete floor, appearing to be broken or cast-off pieces of statues or figures. Several curved metal shapes show rounded forms with rusty red edges and bluish patina, including what looks like feet, folded drapery and a rounded base. A wrinkled piece of paper and a metal bin sit at the left edge, and a few terracotta-coloured pieces lie in the lower right. No people are visible.2009-09-03A dim, unfinished interior with woven bamboo walls and a concrete floor. Several large copper-coloured repoussé sheets lie scattered on the floor, carved with ornate figures, a crown-like headdress and decorative panels, apparently temple-metalwork pieces or statue fragments in progress. Nearby are a wooden plank, a brass-coloured tray, a plastic jug, a grey backpack with a cartoon print, a metal bowl, and clothes hanging from the wall. No people are visible.2009-07-01July 25 20072007-07-25December 10 20062006-12-10A photograph of several wet clay moulds laid out on a blue and white checked cloth on bare ground. Each mould holds a sculpted figure in relief, with limbs and bodies pressed into soft brown clay. A taller clay form with a hollow cylindrical top sits at the upper right, and a larger lump of clay lies at the upper left. Sand, gravel and a white cloth surround the arrangement. No people are visible, and no event or ritual is shown beyond the sculpting work.2013-06-07September 06 20092009-09-06July 14 20132013-07-14September 06 20092009-09-06December 19 20092009-12-19September 03 20092009-09-03A large copper-coloured sculpted pair of feet, with toes and an arched sole detail, lies on a sandy floor in a workshop or work area, apparently partly coated in plaster or cast material. A sheet of newspaper lies behind it and a small torn packet sits to the right. Behind and beside the feet are partially visible similar copper-toned sculptural forms, and the rough, unfinished setting suggests the statue is in fabrication. No people are visible.2009-09-06
