To go along with this sculpture I am hiring a writer and illustrator to produce a children's book which will atempt to explain the story behind the sweater covered elephant and geese. J.D.Ho is my writer, who i've worked with before, and I am so excited she agreed to help me again. And Rene Cruz, whose illustrations I love, will be doing the images for the book. The book will then be available in the library for people to check out and read. I am really excited to see the book come together. Hopefully it doesn't completely overshadow the sculpture with its awesomeness.
Basically the sculpture will be a life sized baby elephant shooting sweaters onto larger than life size geese who will be hanging from the ceiling. It will be installed in the entrance atrium at the Vinson Neighborhood Library. Hopefully sometime this summer 2010. The sweaters for the geese are based on the colors of tropical birds which can be found in the tropical bird house at the Houston Zoo.
