RE-APPROPRIATION (OBELISK)

2012
Walnut, MDF, 23-gauge nails

Just as the The Romans re-appropriated the Egyptian obelisks as a symbol of their victory, and the re-erecting of those obelisks in Rome was re-appropriated in etchings for the purposes of documentation, I re-appropriate that series of re-appropriations in this work.
