The Golden Calf on the Altar of Breaking Tablets
עגל הזהב על מזבח לוחות נשברים

Mixed media, 2003

The calf, Taurus, from an old tin zodiac, rests on a building fragment whose embedded iron emphasize its horns; the altar with gears was extracted from an abandoned knitting machine. The second version's 'mokshim' (warning of mines) sign/altar dates from an old border trash heap. Windshield glass contributes its name because the glass is continually breaking.
