How does Goldsworthy’s sand sculpture contrast with the idea of the ka, discussed later in the chapter, and thus with the statuary through which it flows?

What will be an ideal response?

The Continuing Presence of the Past feature on Andy Goldsworthy’s Sandwork, Sand Sculpture, Time Machine describes the Scottish artist’s sand sculpture, which evokes the cyclical patterns in nature such as the seasonal flooding of the Nile and the ephemeral nature of materials. Goldsworthy specializes in sculpture works using natural materials, which connect his works to geography, topography, and the circumambient environment. This work was initially deemed too disruptive for the British Museum. However, eventually the work was allowed to be presented and photographed for one day. The work evokes the environment and materials around the pyramids and in fact mimics their pyramidal structure.
