2009 - Glimpses-From-Sacredarts-UniversityMaking Of Sacred Arts UniversityPhotograph of disassembled copper-toned metal deity parts laid out on a white sheet on a dark workshop floor. A large head with a crown-like top and a tall cylindrical neck or body section sits at the centre, flanked by two curved conch-like shell forms. Around them lie separated pieces including two elephant-headed figures, two detached hands, a forearm with clenched fist, and a pair of feet, all with dense dotted hammered texture and reddish-gold patina. Other metal pieces and a sheet of paper appear at the top edge. No people are visible.December 12 20092009-12-12July 25 20072007-07-25July 14 20132013-07-14Photograph of several large embossed copper sheets lying on a concrete floor, apparently pieces of a temple or deity ornament or ceremonial armour set.

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.
