Today was moving day for the elephant. My residency is over at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, so we had to take him apart and move him to my other studio. It was a little stressful for me, but everything turned out fine. And i had a lot of help from my friends, which always makes me feel good. I actually had way more people than we really needed show up to help move him into the truck at the craft center. Special thanks to everyone, i'm so glad to have such great support.
After loading him into the truck I had to run off to the Vinson Library to do a site visit with my friend and installation guy, Dillon. After some ladder issues and some security guard issues, he was finally able to take a look at the platform the elephant will be installed on, and is working on a plan. Its so nice to be able to delegate responsibilities to other people who know what they are doing. It leaves me time to get back to what i know, finishing the crochet.
So after the visit to the library I wrangled Dillon into helping me drive the truck to Box 13 and unload the elephant. I am now a little battered and bruised from my battle with the elephant, but as JoAnn said, I won because I tore him apart.
Anyway, the elephant is now in his new temporary home at Box 13 Artspace (I forgot to take pics there, I was too tired and hungry, I will post some later). But, thanks to JoAnn I do have some of loading him up at the craft center. Enjoy.

Special thanks to Robert, Randall, JoAnn, Mike, Anna, Jenny, Kristi, and Dillon. And also to everyone else who volunteered to help, but I ended up not needing, I love you guys too.
