Cleopatra's Needle is Calling, Heliopolis, 1450 B.C. brings together ceramic vessels, brass, glass, and a mirror-mounted panel in a wall-based assemblage that collapses vast stretches of time into a single, quietly monumental object. Ry Rocklen sourced the ceramic pieces through thrift stores and flea markets, a characteristic practice through which he transforms discarded domestic artifacts into components of something ceremonial and strange. The mirror surface behind the vessels doubles and fragments the composition, pulling the viewer's own reflection into an archaeological fiction, while the title anchors the work to an obelisk that has traveled from ancient Egypt to London and New York, accumulating layers of cultural displacement over millennia. Rocklen's work consistently interrogates how objects carry memory, aspiration, and loss, and this piece is among his most lyrical treatments of that theme. The scale, just over 160 centimeters tall, gives it a physical authority that recalls the monumental source it references, yet the ceramic vessels introduce an intimacy associated with everyday life and household ritual. The contrast between the reflective, precious quality of the mirror and brass and the humble origins of the found ceramics is central to the work's meaning, suggesting that grandeur and the ordinary are separated by context rather than substance. Signed by the artist and presented in excellent condition, this 2015 work represents a strong example of Rocklen's mature practice and is available through Feuer/Mesler. It would anchor a collection focused on assemblage, post-conceptual craft, or the intersections of material culture and historical narrative.
