Asklepios ΟΙΞΕΣΘΑΙ is a depiction of the healer Asclepius as a ghost. Asclepius appears not as a solid sphere, but a pierced one. His function as a healer is alluded to via the mortar and pestle and as a surgeon through the use of a tin opener and a vegetable peeler. ΟΙΞΕΣΘΑΙ serves here as an epithet of Asclepius. Meaning 'to be gone' it refers to his death by Zeus' thunderbolt (hence the lighting rod at the top) and the city of Oichalia with which Asclepius and his sons are associated in the Catalogue of Ships. For a view in the round see the video on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2mScs2qhb1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== This work forms part of a series of nine sculptures entitled "Powell's Patterns 2, 11, 20, 25", which is a sculptural exploration of four contingents from the list of combatants in Homer’s Iliad. Superficially, the only link between these four catalogue entries are structural similarities first identified by the scholar Barry Powell. The sculptural series explores thematic links between these entries.
