Cast and bronzed sculptures, depicting ELMO ROCCO, a character initiated from a robotic performance production Battle of the Pyramids, created by the artist in a 2008 residency at EYEBEAM. In Battle of the Pyramids, toys manufactured as companions to children were reconfigured as unsettling instruments of war, emulating the idiosyncratic military strategies of a Napoleonic army overwhelmed and overdressed for military battle in Egypt.
