A photograph of an outdoor work area on bare red earth, with two long metal strips lying on the ground. The left strip is a copper-coloured channel with a raised ornamental edge and tarnished patches. The right strip is a flat sheet covered in thick red paste, with four grey stone blocks placed along it. Scattered litter, a discarded metal container and a rusted iron box sit in the background. No people are visible.

Close photograph of a damaged, rust-coloured copper-toned metal relief panel with embossed scrolling or floral ornamentation, lying in wet ground and partly broken away from a plaster or cement base. A bare foot with dark skin rests at the upper right, and a bare foot appears at the top edge. A small blue-and-white plastic container sits at the lower right. A purple bird logo appears at the top left. Wet earth and debris surround the relief. No people are fully visible, and no a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame.2011-10-22December 05 20112011-12-05A photograph of a concrete floor workspace scattered with thin, irregular pieces of hammered copper sheet, some with raised ridged moulding. A length of pale wooden plank runs diagonally across the left side, with wood shavings nearby. Two hammers with rusted heads lie on the floor at the lower right, and a dark wooden object is partly visible at the right edge. No people are visible. The copper pieces appear to be cut or beaten metal work in progress.2006-12-10December 16 20092009-12-16December 12 20092009-12-12December 12 20092009-12-12October 22 20112011-10-22A close overhead view of a rounded, pale grey clay or plaster mould surface with cracks, set on a base of red bricks beneath a rough wooden plank. A dark metal plate sits across the front, with blue-grey powdery residue and small pieces of debris. Two openings are visible: a round pipe-like hole on the left glowing red-orange inside, and a central cavity with a red glow and dark charred material, plus a smaller hole on the right. No people are present; this appears to be a furnace or casting setup for metal work.September 06 20092009-09-06Close view of a large carved, rust-coloured metal or cast ornamental piece with a scalloped edge and flowing foliate relief, leaning against a wooden post. Gold-toned highlights trace the carved edges. Beside it a stainless steel table with a metal cup and white flower-shaped items sits on black legs, and more reddish carved pieces lie on the floor at the lower right. No people are visible.2009-09-03A 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.2009-09-06A photograph of a long, narrow trench dug into reddish-brown earth, filled with a thick red liquid that looks like dyed water or paint. Scraps of crumpled newspaper, a broken brick, loose stones and short wooden sticks lie scattered on the ground around it, with more newspaper along the edge of the trench. No people or deity forms are visible; the scene reads as a worksite or ground-level channel.2009-12-16
