Yellow Grey CE16 Sculpture

This elephant sculpture is identical (though more finely finished) to those which have been fixed down on the streets of London, Berlin, Paris and many locations in the UK. So far 180+ elephants have gone out on the streets, Guerilla style, since 2015. The shape of the elephant goes back to the late 1990s when I found a chunk of aerated concrete which I carved into an elephant. Somebody bought it almost immediately so I decided to make some more, however the concrete blocks in their full form are long and narrow, so the elephants took on this shape. I have been refining the shape and expanding the range of materials used since then to include cast concrete, rammed earth, cork insulating plaster, wood, expanded foam and hempcrete. This particular elephant came very cleanly out of the mould and it was immediately clear that this one was too good for the streets. The colours derive from pigments mixed into the concrete itself, they are not painted on. CE16 means concrete elephant 16, and this was therefore 16th one to be made ready for sale rather than the streets. The street elephants give passers by a lot of joy, and this I know because random people contact me to let me know how they feel about them. Those who own one fo these elephants also report feeling a lot of love for them. In the past year I have been meditating upon all the elephants, those on the streets and those still in my possession, to deliberately charge them with the feeling of pure love in order that they transmit this back to their surroundings. Magic is real.
