This group of elephant drawings is from
a larger series of drawings of things I adore. These drawings are based
on a dream. For many years I had a dream in which I was unable to find
my way home. In this particular dream, I am riding my bike home, it is
twilight and I am anxious to get there before dark. The route is on a
very hilly, perfectly smooth blacktop country road. It is hard to peddle
up the hills but once on top, I am able to practically fly down the
other side of each hill.
At the bottom of one of them, I see
bright lights emanating from a small house. I leave my bike and go up to
the house. I can hear music and smell flowers. Looking in through the
windows, I realize the house is full of elephants celebrating. I walk
into the house and see family pictures and small knickknack sculptures
of elephants. As I make my way to the back of the house, I see elephants
lining up to fly off towards the sunset. I awoke waiting in line.
