The artworks play on multiple ambiguities - is the work an archaeological object or an antique piece? Is it figurative or pedestal? Is it a contemporary work built by hand, readymade or an ancient work that has been excavated? The artist sets up these deliberate fluidities as a playful installation that creates the sense that the work belongs elsewhere in time as well as in space.
