The large-scale ceramic work takes as point of departure a building by the famous modernist architect Le Corbusier, Villa Shodhan, built in Ahmedabad in India between 1951 and 56. Inside the structure rests a ceramic horse’s head. It’s cast based on a famous Greek sculpture dating to circa 438 BCE, from the Parthenon’s tympanum depicting the chariot of the moon goddess Selene on the Acropolis in Athens. The new sculpture is one of the artist’s largest and technically complex ceramics to date.
